Much interest has been focused on the oral streptococcal antigen I/II family containing cell surface polypeptides to which have been attributed a number of binding functions, namely towards salivary constituents (1) and monocytes (4). These properties could be critical in the colonization ability of oral streptococci involved in the aetiology of dental caries and in the pathogenesis of subacute inflammatory disorders. Up to now, most of the studies of the binding activity of the antigens I/II focused on adhesion to salivary receptors and concerned two well conserved regions, the N-terminal alanine-rich domain (A) and the middle proline-rich region (P) (1, 2). Our goal is to investigate the binding-repertoire of the antigen I/IIf from Streptococcus mutans in terms of specificity and localization of relevant functional domains, in examining the binding activity of derivatives of the recombinant antigen I/IIf (recI/IIf) towards human salivary components, membrane components of epithelial cells and monocytes, as well as towards extracellular and matrix proteins.
