Effect of IgA1 protease on the ability of secretory IgA1 antibodies to inhibit the adherence of Streptococcus mutans.

Microbiology and immunology - 1 Jan 1998

Tyler B M, Cole M F

Abstract excerpt

Secretory IgA (SIgA) is the principal immunoglobulin isotype present in the mucosal secretions of humans. SIgA is thought to play a major role in host defense at these surfaces by inhibiting the colonization of potentially pathogenic microorganisms. A number of bacteria that are mucosal pathogens of humans produce a protease that specifically cleaves the IgA1 subclass of humans and great apes at the hinge region...
