Abstract

A nonfimbrial hemagglutinin (HA) of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis was observed by immunoelectron microscopy using monospecific HA antiserum and protein A-gold conjugate. The HA, an amorphous but morphologically identifiable entity, was located in a region distal to or detached from the outer edge of bacteria.
