Mw. Russell et al., IDENTITY OF STREPTOCOCCUS-MUTANS SURFACE PROTEIN ANTIGEN-III AND WALL-ASSOCIATED PROTEIN ANTIGEN-A, Infection and immunity, 63(2), 1995, pp. 733-735
Preparations of Streptococcus mutans surface proteins AgIII and antige
n A from different laboratories were compared with regard to amino aci
d composition, N-terminal amino acid sequence, electrophoretic mobilit
y, and antigenic similarity. Despite previous observations of differen
ces in physical properties, data indicate that these two preparations
represent the same protein.
