Identity of Streptococcus mutans surface protein antigen III and wall-associated protein antigen A.
Preparations of Streptococcus mutans surface proteins AgIII and antigen A from different laboratories were compared with regard to amino acid composition, N-terminal amino acid sequence, electrophoretic mobility, and antigenic similarity. Despite previous observations of differences in physical properties, data indicate that these two preparations represent the same protein.
