title: Production of monoclonal antibody against a glucosyltransferase of Streptococcus mutans 6715.
abstract: A mouse hybrid cell line secreted monoclonal antibody which reacted specifically with Streptococcus mutans 6715 (serotype g) glucosyltransferase (GTase)-synthesizing water-insoluble glucan and inhibited with enzyme reaction. The antibody was cross-reactive with GTase of serotype d but not with GTase of other serotypes of S. mutans when an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used.
