Abstract excerpt
Studies on frequencies of serum antibodies to outer surface proteins (Osps) in Lyme disease have produced conflicting results. Osp antigens (A, B, and C) enriched by butanol extraction, which aids band identification in immunoblotting, were used to test sera for IgG antibody to Osp antigens from...
