Strains representing taxonomic clusters of Actinomyces viscosus and Actinomyces naeslundii were studied by indirect immunogold electron microscopy with either monospecific anti-type 1 and anti-type 2 rabbit antibodies or species-specific monoclonal antibodies. The monoclonal and anti-type 2 antibodies localized on long fibrils, whereas the anti-type 1 antibodies mostly localized close to the cell body or on shorter appendages.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
