Complement Evasion byBorrelia burgdorferi: Serum-Resistant Strains Promote C3b Inactivation

1 Jun 2001

Abstract excerpt

The most characteristic features of the Lyme disease pathogens, the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) group, are their ability to invade tissues and to circumvent the immune defenses of the host for extended periods of time, despite elevated levels of borrelia-specific antibodies in serum and other body fluids. Our aim in the present study was to determine whether B. burgdorferi is able to interfere with...
