Biography
Dr. Keita Watanabe working on this study seeks to assess the efficacy of the glucosyltransferase-I (GTF-I) produced by Streptococcus sobrinus as a nasal vaccine for the prevention of dental caries. Nasal immunization of mice with GTF-I elicited significant levels of GTF-I-specific IgG and IgA in serum and mucosal IgA antibodies in saliva.
