Regulation of OspE-Related, OspF-Related, and Elp Lipoproteins of Borrelia burgdorferi Strain 297 by Mammalian Host-Specific Signals
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
In previous studies we have characterized the cp32/18 loci in Borrelia burgdorferi 297 which encode OspE and OspF orthologs and a third group of lipoproteins which possess OspE/F-like leader peptides (Elps). To further these studies, we have comprehensively analyzed their patterns of expression throughout the borrelial enzootic cycle. Serial dilution reverse transcription-PCR analysis indicated that although a...
