...Tommy Baumann; Christoph Schmidt; Thiago Saads Carvalho Aim: A combination of the proteins casein and mucin is known to modify the salivary pellicle and improve its protection of the underlying enamel from erosion. It is so far not known if this protection is confined solely to erosion...

...Kevin R. Sieber; Christoph Schmidt; Tommy Baumann; Adrian Lussi; Thiago S. Carvalho Casein and mucin have been shown to improve the erosion-protective properties of the pellicle when applied in combination. The aim of this in vitro study was to optimize the concentrations of these 2 proteins...

...Zeinab Cheaib; Ekaterina Rakmathulina; Adrian Lussi; Sigrun Eick New preventive approaches against dental erosion caused by acidic drinks and beverages include fortification of beverages with natural polymers. We have shown that the mixture of casein and mucin significantly improved the erosion...

...J.W. Smalley; D. Dwarakanath; J.M. Rhodes; C.A. Hart Mucin-sulphatase activity, measured using a 35 S-[SO 4 2- ]-labelled colonic mucin substrate, was detected in whole cells of Streptococci isolated from the human oral cavity. The highest levels of sulphatase activity were found in all strains...

...J.S. van der Hoeven; P.J.M. Camp The ability to utilize mucin oligosaccharides as sources of carbohydrate and energy is believed to be an important mechanism in the ecology of oral streptococci. In this study we have used digoxigenin-labelled lectins of various specificities to monitor changes...

...J.S. van der Hoeven; P.J.M. Camp Mixed continuous cultures of Streptococcus species were obtained, using complex carbohydrate (mucin) as a source of nutrients, to study the ecological effects of oxygen and the lactoperoxidase system. S. mutans NCTC10449 was unable to grow as a pure culture on mucin...
