唾液凝集素研究进展

Research progress of salivary agglutinin

唾液凝集素是一种能与细菌作用的糖蛋白,在口腔中能介导多种细菌的凝集和黏附。近年来对唾液凝集素与细菌表面蛋白的研究已越来越深入,下面就唾液凝集素的生化特性及其在细菌凝集和黏附中的作用作一综述。

Salivary agglutinin （SAG） is a kind of glycoprotein that can mediate bacterial aggregation or adhesion. More and more researches have focused on the interaction between SAG and bacteria recently. This review summarized the research progress in thve biochemical characteristics of SAG and its pivotal role in the bacterial aggregation and adhesion.
