“…The better resolution and higher magnification afforded by negative-stain and thin-section electronmicroscopy show the organisms to have a distinctive morphology (Rodgers, Macrae and Lewis, 1978), are found intracellularly in lung macrophages (Rodgers, 1979b;Chandler et al, 1979), and possess flagella and pili (Rodgers et al, 1980;Chandler et al, 1980). The antigens of legionellae and the antibodies they induce in human sera have been detected with varying success by several means, including micro-agglutination, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Farshy, Klein and Feeley, 1978), and counter immunoelectro-phoresis (Holliday, 1980).…”
