Demonstration of Salivary Antibodies by Latex Spheres as Immunologic Markers.

Abstract

The report describes the adaption of a recently introduced technique combining the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an indirect labeling technique to demonstrate the binding of salivary antibodies to Strep. mutans. The procedure is dependent upon the principle that polystyrene latex beads coated with specific antibodies will attach to target antigens; whereas, beads coated with non-specific antibodies will not attach.
