Conservation and heterogeneity of vlsE among human and tick isolates of Borrelia burgdorferi.

Infection and immunity - 1 Mar 2000

Iyer R, Hardham J M, Wormser G P, Schwartz I, Norris S J

Abstract excerpt

The vls (variable major protein [VMP]-like sequence) locus of Borrelia burgdorferi encodes an antigenic variation system that closely resembles the VMP system of relapsing fever borreliae. To determine whether vls sequences are present consistently in low-passage, infectious isolates of B. burgdorferi, 22 blood and erythema migrans biopsy isolates from Lyme disease patients in Westchester County, New York, were...
