Binding of Human Urokinase Type Plasminogen Activator and Plasminogen to Borrelia Species

1 Jul 1996

Abstract excerpt

Borrelia burgdorferi binds human urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA), which cleaves plasminogen (Pgn) to plasmin. The ability of other Borrelia species to bind uPA, Pgn, or both was investigated. Borrelia coriacae, Borrelia garinii, Borrelia parkeri, Borrelia anserina, and Borrelia turicatae were compared with infectious and noninfectious B. burgdorferi isolates. All Borrelia species lacked endogenous proteases...
