In the present study, we have tried to evaluate the effect of anti-dextransucrase antibodies on caries formation by using purified dextransucrase as the antigen from S. Protein samples of the liver, heart, spleen, kidney of mice, rat and liver, kidney of rabbit were analysed by western blot analysis to evaluate the cross reactivity of purified antibody with mammalian tissues Fig. 5a . ./cache/cord-010991-fp8hljbq.txt ./txt/cord-010991-fp8hljbq.txt
