scientists learn More about the special immune system that works within the Mouth and researchers the Workings of the secretory immune which also protects the respiratory and gastrointestinal Are less Well understood than those of the system that works in the according to Daniel Smith of the Forsyth dental Center in bos Many cavity vaccine researchers Are focusing on the secretory which acts in the Mouth through and such re search May teach them enough to help fight germs that enter through the Mouth and he new knowledge May also help with diseases whose germs Settle in the territory of the secretory such As the respiratory he research May even Lead to Oral vaccines against venereal said Michael visiting scientist at the National Institute of dental As for the cavity vaccine Smith and Cole said in recent interviews that it  replace floss and but it could help further reduce cavities and provide a Boon in areas without Good dental they vaccine research is focusing on a bacterium called streptococcus the main cause of with the help of sugar from the it colonizes on Teeth and produces tooth eroding babies Are generally exposed to the bacterium by their usually through kissing and close intimate Cole but the bacterium cant Settle in until the baby gets he that could allow a vaccine time to go to work first to fend off bacterial colonization when the Teeth Smith then you have established a he if you wait until a kid enters they already have the the vaccine would probably be taken be it would stimulate the secretory immune system to produce protein mole Cules called which would attack and neutralize a substance the bacterium makes to help form the vaccine would not Only raise the Nat ural Low level of such antibodies in but also prime the immune system to Manu facture them quickly in response to the Bac Cole Smiths group has targeted a bacterial enzyme called glucose Al Ini tial results of an Experiment involving about 30 College students suggest that capsules of glucose Al transferase can prod the body into rapidly producing antibodies to the he British researchers Are awaiting approval for a multiyear trial in humans for their vaccine which targets another bacterial Cole a cavity vaccine itself wont eradicate tooth Smith the secretory immune system seems to mount a weaker response than the blood based system in contrast to diseases whose
