Figure 4B. burgdorferi N40 binding to tick gut extract is enhanced in the presence of OspA. BSA-, FCS-, and TGE-coated wells were incubated with 10
7 spirochetes per well in the absence or presence of OspA (example, TGE + OspA). Spirochetes suspended in PBS-Tween were probed with a FlaB mAb (black bars). Spirochetes suspended in PBS were probed with
B. burgdorferi antisera (gray bars). Bars represent the mean ± SD from three experiments.
