The aims of this study were i) to characterize and compare the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis protein patterns of reference Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus strains, subcultivated for years, with fresh isolates of the same serotype; ii) to study possible differences between the human salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) activity to reference strains and to fresh bacterial isolates of the saliva donors; iii) to examine for potential differences in the salivary IgA activity to the streptococcal antigens during 1 week; and iv) to map, in the same individuals, the serum IgA activity against the selected bacteria. S. mutans reference and fresh isolated strains showed a similar protein pattern with few exceptions. The immunoblot also revealed similarity in saliva IgA response, with only one subject's saliva displaying clearly one band's difference. For S. sobrinus a larger discrepancy was seen. The antibody activity during the one week interval was essentially unchanged. When incubated with serum, a different immunoblot profile was seen compared with saliva, although most bands revealed by saliva were also displayed by serum.
