    • Human saliva was fractionated to determine the components required for production and accumulation of the antimicrobial oxidizing agent, hypothiocyanite ion (OSCN-). The required components were: 1) peroxidase activity and thiocyanate ion (SCN -), 2) the saliva sediment, which produced hydrogen peroxide (H 2O2) in the presence of oxygen and a divalent cation, and 3) heatstable factors of the saliva supernatant. The supernatant factors were separated into high- and low-mol wt fractions. The high… CONTINUE READING
