Molecular detection of <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> in formalin‐fixed, paraffin‐embedded lesions of Lyme disease
1 Oct 1993
Abstract excerpt
A system for the detection of a Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb)-specific gene segment in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded skin lesions is described. A nested polymerase chain reaction technique is used to selectively amplify in vitro a short segment of a Bb-specific gene recently described by Rosa et al. (J Infect Dis 1989: 160: 1018). The design of oligonucleotide primers for the amplification of a relatively short...
