How can you use “alanyl” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In low responders, the fewer antibodies to D-alanyl LTA suggest less colonization by acid-tolerant bacteria and a weaker cariogenic attack.
D-Alanyl LTA in the concentrate was detected by immunoelectrophoresis, using a standard human serum identified previously [ 16 ] . D-Alanine-free LTA does not react with this serum IgG [ 17 18 21 ] . The D-alanyl LTA was purified by passing the concentrated culture fluid over a 90 × 2.5 cm Sephacryl column in 0.4 M NaCl buffered with 0.05 M sodium acetate pH 5. Antigen in the fractions was collected.
The odds ratio for a serum from a high antibody responder immunoprecipitating D-alanyl LTA was 14 times greater than for a low responder.
Although this study has indicated that the IgG antibodies to D-alanyl LTA do not become elevated until after age 17, when much caries may have already developed, they may be elevated to a lower level in children who eventually become high responders.
An increased mutans streptococcal challenge accompanying low plaque pH (high antibody response to D-alanyl LTA) allows much of the variation in caries experience to be controlled by water fluoridation and by the use of fluoridated dentrifices associated with maintaining oral health.
