OspA directly binds to B. burgdorferi. FITC-labeled OspA (a) was used to directly probe B. burgdorferi N40. FITC-labeled OspC (b) and FITC-labeled BSA (c) were used as controls to probe B. burgdorferi N40. FITC-labeled OspA was also used to probe B. burgdorferi 46047, an isolate that lacks OspA (d).
