The quantitative and qualitative difference between protein A reactivity of Staphylococcus aureus and the specific adsorption of homologous antibodies was demonstrated by means of ferritin labelled rabbit serum globulins and electron microscopy. Protein A antigen seems to reside in the outermost layer of the cell wall and is evenly distributed over the whole cell.
