Immunolabelling of SR protein and serotype polysaccharide in Streptococcus mutans.
Immunoelectron microscopy was used to determine the accessibility of gold-labelled monoclonal antibodies, specific for the SR protein and serotype polysaccharide, to the surface of viable cells of Streptococcus mutans. The results indicate that both antigens are simultaneously accessible to their respective antibodies.
