Abstract
The cellular localization of the major surface protein SpaA of Strepto coccus sobrinus 6715 was examined by immunoelectron microscopy with ra bbit polyclonal antibodies directed against purified SpaA protein. Imm unoelectron microscopic analysis of thin sections of S. sobrinus cells revealed that the SpaA protein is associated with the fibrillar fuzzy coat of S. sobrinus cells and appears to be distributed over the enti re surface of S. sobrinus cells.
