Albumin as a blocking agent in studies of streptococcal adsorption to experimental salivary pellicles.
A procedure involving blocking with bovine albumin was useful for differentiating between streptococcal interactions with components of experimental salivary pellicles similar to those which form on teeth and potential interactions with uncoated areas of mineral.
