Alp, an arthropod-associated outer membrane protein of Borrelia species that cause relapsing fever.

Infection and immunity - 1 May 2012

Marcsisin Renee A, Campeau Shelley A, Lopez Job E, Barbour Alan G

Abstract excerpt

Borrelia hermsii and other relapsing fever (RF) species are noted for their highly polymorphic surface antigens, the variable major proteins (VMP). Less is known about other surface proteins of these pathogens in either their vertebrate reservoirs or arthropod vectors. To further characterize these proteins, we elicited antibodies against VMP-less cells, noted antibody reactions against whole cells and cell...
