Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention relates to an oral composition which can prevent periodontal disease through suppression of the intraoral colonization of Bacteroides gingivalis which is one of the causative bacteria of periodontal diseases. 
     There are many people having periodontal disease such as gingivitis and periodontitis. The rate of such disease in adults is especially on the increase. Prevention of periodontal diseases will be an important problem in the future circumstance because of an ever increasing number of aged persons. 
     Periodontal disease is primarily caused by bacteria existing in accumulated plaque in periodontal pockets. A healthy periodontal pocket is usually composed of an overwhelming amount of gram positive bacteria, while the amount of gram negative bacteria increases with the progress of the periodontal disease. Bacteroides gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Eikenella corrodens, Actionabacillus actinomycetemcomitans and so forth are primarily listed as such gram negative bacteria. In the focal regions of adult patients with severe periodontal disease, gram negative bacteria are detected in most cases among which Bacteroides gingivalis is separated in a specially high frequency. In many of these cases, the titer of anti-Bacteroides gingivalis antibody in the serum of the patient also increases. In addition, it has been demonstrated that the inoculation of an animal with Bacteroides gingivalis aggravates periodontal inflammation. These results indicate that Bacteroides gingivalis plays an important role in the development of periodontal diseases. 
     Bacteroides gingivalis adheres to periodontal mucosa by means of its pili and capsule existing on the surface of its bacterial body, thereby proliferating and badly influencing the periodontal region. For the prevention of periodontal diseases, the inhibition of the colonization or suppression of the proliferation of Bacteroides gingivalis in the mouth is effective and bactericides are mainly used now for this purpose. In some more specific methods, the inhibition of the colonization of Bacteroides gingivalis in the mouth is attempted by using a vaccine. However, since the bacterial body is used as an active vaccine which is directly injected into the living human body in all of these methods, they have problems in terms of both effect and toxicity. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     An object of the present invention is to provide an oral composition having an excellent effect on preventing periodontal disease. 
     For the purpose of attaining the above object, the present inventors researched a highly safe method of securing the prevention of periodontal disease through effective suppression of the colonization of Bacteroides gingivalis in the mouth. As a result, the inventors have found that serum antibody or milk antibody obtained by immunizing mammals with Bacteroides gingivalis, its pilus or capsule fraction as an antigen remarkably suppresses the colonization of Bacteroides gingivalis in the mouth, and that periodontal diseases can be effectively prevented by blending the above antibody to an oral composition, thereby achieving the object of this invention. 
     Therefore, the present invention provides an oral composition comprising an antibody obtained by immunizing a mammal with at least one antigen selected from the group consisting of Bacteroides gingivalis, its pilus and capsule fractions. 
     According to this invention, since the oral composition contains the above-mentioned antibody, the colonization of Bacteroides gingivalis in the mouth is effectively prevented, resulting in the prevention of periodontal disease such as periodontitis. 
     In addition, since said antibody is highly safe, the oral composition according to this invention can be safely used. 
     The above and other objects, features, and advantages of this invention will be more fully understood by reading the following description. 
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     An oral composition according to this invention contains an antibody obtained by immunizing mammals with Bacteroides gingivalis, its pilus or capsule fraction as an antigen. 
     As Bacteroides gingivalis used in preparing the above antigens, the bacterial strain supplied by the Forsyth Dental Center in Boston, bacterial strains separated from the focal regions of periodontitis, and the like may be used. 
     Bacteroides gingivalis used as an antigen may be prepared according to the well known method, for example, by culturing the bacterium in a medium prepared by adding hemin and menadione to Todd-Hewitt broth before the grown bacterium is washed and treated with formalin. Pili and capsules of Bacteroides gingivalis used as antigens may be severed and separated from the bacteria (Bacteroides gingivalis) according to the well known method. 
     The usual method may be adopted in immunizing mammals with said antigens. As mammals to be immunized, rabbits, goats, sheep, horses, cows, etc. may be used. 
     The antibody (immunoglobulin fractions in the antiserum and the milk) may be separated from the antiserum and the milk according to the ordinary antibody purification method including the salting-out method, the gel-filtration method, ion-exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, and the like, the salting-out method using ammonium sulfate being preferred. In the salting-out method, the antiserum or the milk is saturated with ammonium sulfate to produce the precipitates, followed by dialyzing the precipitates against physiological saline to obtain the purified precipitates as the antibody.

     In the following, examples of this invention will be given although this invention is not restricted them. 
    
    
     [EXAMPLE 1] 
     (1) Preparation of Antigens 
     After Bacteroides gingivalis 381 was cultured in Todd-Hewitt broth containing hemin and menadione for two days, the grown bacteria were collected through centrifugation carried out at 800 rpm for 15 minutes. The thus collected bacteria, after being washed with 5 mM phosphate buffer of pH 7.4, were treated in 0.5% formalin overnight, thereby obtaining the whole cell antigen. 
     As to the preparation of the pilus antigen, after Bacteroides gingivalis cultured for two days in the same manner as above was collected before being washed, the washed bacteria were gently stirred in distilled water containing glass beads for two days before being caused to pass through an No. 25 injection needle (0.5×25 mm) three times so as to sever the pili from the bacteria. The thus obtained solution was centrifuged at 8,000 rpm for 15 minutes to separate the bacteria from the pili contained in the supernatant, then the supernatant was dialyzed against distilled water before being lyophilized, thereby obtaining the pilus antigen. The yield was 0.0042% of the wet weight of the bacteria. 
     As to the capsule antigen, after bacteria collected in the same manner were allowed to react with phosphate buffer (0.05M, pH 7.4) containing 0.01M of EDTA at 60° C. for 30 minutes, the mixture solution was caused to pass through an No. 25 injection needle three times so as to separate the capsule from the bacteria. Next, the bacteria were removed by subjecting the thus obtained solution to centrifugation at 8,000 rpm for 15 minutes to obtain a supernatant which is then subjected to ultracentrifugation at 40,000 rpm for two hours, thereby obtaining a deposit which is used as the capsule antigen. The yield was 0.09% of the wet weight of the bacteria. 
     (2) Preparation of Antibodies 
     Serum antibodies were obtained by immunizing rabbits or pregnant sheep. Immunizations were carried out according to the usually adopted schedule. The initial immunization of rabbits with the whole cell antigen was carried out by subcutaneously injecting a mixture consisting of Freund&#39;s complete adjuvant and 20 mg of bacterial cells. Following the subcutaneous injection, 10 mg of bacterial cells was injected in the vein of the ear of the animal four times every seven days for a total of 40 mg. The antiserum obtained was subjected to salting-out in 50% ammonium sulfate solution two times before being dialyzed against distilled water, thereby obtaining an antibody preparation. Antibody preparations for the pilus antigen and the capsule antigen were obtained in the same manner as above. 
     Milk antibody was obtained by immunizing a goat of two month pregnancy with the whole bacterial cell antigen. The initial immunization of the pregnant goat was carried out by subcutaneously injecting a mixture consisting of Freund&#39;s complete adjuvant and 500 mg of bacterial cells, and other subcutaneous injections were carried out in the same manner 21 days and 28 days after the initial immunization. For the purpose of enhancing the production of the antibody contained in the milk, 500 mg of bacterial cells were orally administered 24 days after the initial administration. The milk was collected every day after the delivery. The collected milk was centrifuged at 15,000 rpm for one hour and the intermediate layer was collected. The thus collected layer was subjected to salting-out in 50% ammonium sulfate solution two times before being dialyzed against distilled water, thereby obtaining a goat&#39;s milk antibody preparation. 
     (3) Evaluation of the Antibodies 
     1. Reinforcing effects of rabbit&#39;s serum antibodies on the phagocytic ability of macrophages 
     The reinforcing effects of the antibodies on the phagocytic ability against Bacteroides gingivalis were investigated by using guinea-pig&#39;s peritoneal macrophages. 
     Hanks&#39; solution containing hemin and menadione was mixed with guinea-pig&#39;s perioneal macrophages obtained five days after the stimulation with oyster glycogen, Bacteroides gingivalis cultured for two days and each of various kinds of rabbit&#39;s antibodies (final concentration of 10%), and the mixture was subjected to anaerobic shake culture at 37° C. Then the number of living bacteria was measured 0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 hours after. In this experiment, 3.4×10 5  macrophages/ml were added and the survival rate observed three hours after was 95 to 97%. The results are shown in Table 1.

     From the results shown in Table 1, the above various kinds of antibodies caused reinforcing effects to the phagocytic ability of macrophages as compared to the phosphate buffer (0.5M, pH 7.4) used as the control. 
     2. Effects of rabbit&#39;s serum antibodies inhibiting the colonization of Bacteroides gingivalis in Hamster&#39;s mouth 
     Bacteroides gingivalis cultured for three days were suspended in 1 mM phosphate buffer of pH 7.2 in such a manner that a suspension of 1.0 opacity (OD 550  =1.0) was obtained. The thus obtained suspension was mixed with each of various kinds of antibodies in a ratio of 1 to 1, and the mixture was allowed to react at 37° C. for 30 minutes. In the control group, the suspension was caused to react with phosphate buffer in the same manner as above. 
     After the mandibular first molar of a golden hamster was ligated with a cotton thread (No. 50), 0.1 ml of the above obtained reaction solution was injected in the mouth and 0.1 ml of the same reaction solution was inoculated into the right and the left check poaches respectively. Inoculations with the above reaction solution were conducted for three consecutive days, and the ligation thread was removed one week after the last inoculation. Then the number of Bacteroides gingivalis and the number of anaerobic bacteria contained in the ligation thread were determined. During this experiment, in which nine animals were used for one group, the animals were given Diet 2000 of high sucrose content as feed and freely given tap water as drinking water. The results are shown in Table 2. 
     As clearly seen from the results given in Table 2, it was observed that the above various kinds of antibodies significantly inhibit the colonization of Bacteroides gingivalis in the mouth as compared to the control group. 
     3. Effect of goat&#39;s antibody inhibiting the colonization of Bacteroides gingivalis in the mouth 
     The same method as above was adopted in carrying out an experiment. Goat&#39;s anti-whole cell milk antibody was used as a sample. The results are shown in Table 3. 
     As clearly seen from the results given in Table 3, it was observed that goat&#39;s milk antibody significantly inhibits the colonization of Bacteroides gingivalis in the mouth as compared to the control group.

     4. Effects of rabbit&#39;s serum antibodies inhibiting the colonization of Bacteroides gingivalis in Hamster&#39;s mouth by brushing 
     Bacteroides gingivalis cultured for three days was suspended in 1 mM phosphate buffer of pH 7.2 in such a manner that a suspension of 1.0 opacity (OD 550  =1.0) was obtained. 0.1 ml of the thus obtained suspension was inoculated in the mouth of a golden hamster of which the right and left mandibular first molars were ligated with cotton threads (No. 50). Thirty minutes after the inoculation, 0.1 ml of the equivalent mixture of each kind of antibodies and glycerine and 0.1 ml of the equivalent mixture of water and glycerine were injected in the mouth respectively and buccal and lingual surfaces of the mandibular molars were brushed twenty times with a interdental brush. The above operations were conducted for three consecutive days, and thereafter only the brushing operation was conducted twice a day. One week and three weeks after the last inoculation, the ligation threads were removed. Then the number of Bacteroides gingivalis and the number of anaerobic bacteria contained in the ligation thread were determined. During this experiment, the animals were given Diet 2000  of high sucrose content as feed and freely given tap water as drinking water. The results are shown in Table 4. 
     As clearly seen from the results given in Table 4, it was observed that the above various kinds of antibodies significantly inhibit the colonization of Bacteroides gingivalis in the mouth as compared to the control group.
