Electron microscopy of antibody-labelled cells of Streptococcus mutans.
Examination of immune complexes between cells of Streptococcus mutans and homologous antiserum by the techniques of thin-sectioning and freeze-etching revealed that the cells were embedded within and extensive matrix 80-90 nm thick with defined boundaries.
