Immune evasion of <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i>: mapping of a complement‐inhibitor factor H‐binding site of BbCRASP‐3, a novel member of the Erp protein family

24 Feb 2003

Abstract excerpt

The causative agents of Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi s.s., B. garinii, and B. afzelii, differ in their susceptibility to complement-mediated lysis. This phenomenon apparently depends on the expression of proteins termed complement regulator-acquiring surface proteins (CRASP) and their binding to the inhibitory plasma proteins factor H and FHL-1. To characterize these bacterial proteins in more detail we...
