Naturally-occurring IgA Antibodies to Glycerol-teichoic Acid in Human Saliva. Correlation with Caries Activity

Ronald W. Bolton

Department of Oral Biology and Basic Sciences, College of Dentistry, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Lincoln, Nebraska 68583

Human subjects were examined for caries activity and for naturally-occurring salivary IgA of glycerol-teichoic acid (TA) specificity by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Subjects free of active caries produced higher levels of anti-TA in their saliva than persons with one or more active carious lesions.
