Ultrastructural localization of protein antigens I/II and III in Streptococcus mutans.
Peroxidase-conjugated antibodies to antigens I/II and III were used to stain cells of Streptococcus mutans serotypes a through g. Under the electron microscope, serotypes that possessed these antigens showed deposits of peroxidase reaction products in association with the cell surface.
