摘要:
Concanavalin A and fucose-binding protein, lectins with a high specificity for binding to D-mannose or D-glucose and L-fucose, respectively, have been found to reversibly bind and inactivate the factor or factors in saliva that are responsible for inducing the aggregation of Streptococcus mutans. The sugars for which the lectins are specific can block and reverse the binding, suggesting that the lectins are binding to specific sugar residues in the carbohydrate portion of the aggregating factor molecule.
