Cinco M, De Giovannini R
Abstract excerpt
Four Borrelia burgdorferi strains isolated in the same restricted geographic area share different protein patterns on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The use of polyclonal rabbit antisera and a battery of monoclonal antibodies directed toward the immunodominant proteins...
