title: Immuno-electronmicroscopic demonstration of alpha and beta components of group B streptococcal protein antigen c.
abstract: Affinity purified and absorbed monospecific antibodies against the protein type antigen c components c alpha and c beta were used in immuno-electronmicroscopic studies. As demonstrated with protein A gold particles the c alpha specific antibodies reacted with the c alpha antigen, the c beta specific antibodies with the c beta antigen. The respective antigens were distributed over the whole surface of the bacterial cells, mainly at the outermost layer of the cell wall.
