[Evaluation of normal protein profile of the mixed saliva and serum by laser nephelometry].

The aim of this study was to produce a protein profile of both whole saliva saliva and serum in a normal population of adults of both sexes ranging from 18 to 35 years of age using laser nephelometry. Twelve proteins were titrated: IgA, IgG, IgM, C3c, C4, alpha 2-macroglobulin, alpha 1-antitrypsin, C-reactive protein, albumin, hapto-globulin, alpha 1-glycoprotein acid and transferrine. This study is an original attempt to define a normal protein profile in the healthy adult. The next stage will be to analyse the physiopathological variations of this profile in inflammed oral and dental diseases.
