Serum samples were examined from patients with deep-seated n 25 and superficial n 25 S. aureus infections and 15 healthy controls. Patients with deep-seated infections exhibited a large number of immuno-reactive bands in their IgG immunoblot profile as compared to those with superficial infections and healthy controls. Anti-staphylococcal IgG antibodies that reacted with two antigens of apparent molecular weight 110 and 98 kDa were specifically present in 96 24 25 of patients with deep-seated infections and were absent in superficial and control sera. Moreover other Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria did not share these two unique antigens. The ELISA assays revealed significantly elevated levels of IgG antibodies to .
