The interaction of salivary lysozyme with the surface protein antigen (PAc) of Streptococcus mutans and the interaction of lysozyme with the pathogen were examined by ELISA using S. mutans MT8148 (PAc+) and the PAc-defective mutant EM-2 (PAc-). The lysozyme clearly bound to the S. mutans wild type but not to the S. mutans mutant. Furthermore, lysozyme bound directly in the fluid phase to the rPAc, of which the...
