Prominent T cell response to a selectivelyin vivo expressedBorrelia burgdorferi outer surface protein (pG) in patients with Lyme disease
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
Diagnosis of Lyme disease by analysis of T cell immune responses in vitro is curtailed by poor correlation between test results and status of infection. This is probably due to the inherent nonspecific activation potential of the causative agent, the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, for bystander lymphocytes, in particular via their outer surface lipoproteins. We have now applied a novel protocol to determine...
