Oral passive immunization against dental caries in rats by use of hen egg yolk antibodies specific for cell-associated glucosyltransferase of Streptococcus mutans.
The effect of polyclonal egg yolk immunoglobulin G antibodies (yIgG) raised against whole cells, cell-free (CF) glucosyltransferase (GTase), or cell-associated (CA) GTase of serotype c Streptococcus mutans was examined in terms of in vitro inhibition of virulence-related factors of S. mutans and protection of S. mutans-infected rats against the development of dental caries. Hens (18 weeks old) ...
متن کاملEfficacy of Oral Passive Immunotherapy against Dental Caries in Humans Using Chicken Egg Yolk Antibodies Generated against Streptococcus Mutans
Dental caries an ever growing public health problem is not much amenable to existing preventive measures. The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of mouth rinse containing chicken egg yolk antibodies generated against whole cell antigen and cell associated glucosyltransferase enzyme (CA-GTF) of Streptococcus mutans in preventing recolonization of S.mutans in dental p...
متن کاملPassive transfer of immunoglobulin Y antibody to Streptococcus mutans glucan binding protein B can confer protection against experimental dental caries.
Active immunization with Streptococcus mutans glucan binding protein B (GBP-B) has been shown to induce protection against experimental dental caries. This protection presumably results from continuous secretion of salivary antibody to GBP-B, which inhibits accumulation of S. mutans within the oral biofilm. The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of short-term (9- or 24-day) pass...
متن کاملHen egg yolk antibodies (IgY), production and use for passive immunization against bacterial enteric infections in chicken: a review
Poultry meat is an important food product and the broiler chicken-related industry is an economically important component of the agro-industry in the European Union (EU). The industry however is under pressure and faces many challenges. Most importantly, there is a demand for meat of high nutritional value and free of microbiological and chemical hazards. Unfortunately poultry meat is one of th...
متن کاملInteraction of glucosyltransferase with the cell surface of Streptococcus mutans.
The partially purified glucosyltransferase (GTF) fraction synthesizing primarily water-insoluble glucans, GTF-A, and the homogeneous fraction synthesizing water-soluble glucans, GTF-B, were utilized to assess the binding of GTF activity to the cell surface of Streptococcus mutans GS-5. Growth of the cells in either Todd-Hewitt broth or a chemically defined medium did not appear to affect the ab...
