To investigate the effects of monoclonal antibody on salivary agglutinin-mediated aggregation of Streptococcus sobrinus in vitro. Bacterial aggregation inhibition was measured under OD650 at 10 minutes intervals for 1 hour. It showed that the McAb ZS2/286 raised against the PAg of S. sobrinus 6715 could inhibit the aggregation by some degree, but the effect was not significant. The McAb ZS2/286 might not bind directly to the functionally important region of PAg related to aggregation.
