The glycosylated proline-rich glycoprotein (Gl or PRG), a product of the PRB3 gene, is a major constituent of human parotid saliva. Important functions proposed for Gl include acting as a bacterial receptor. The Gl proteins of several subjects were typed by two polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) systems: acid-lactate PAGE followed by staining with the periodic acid-Schiff reagent and sodium dodecyl...
