Structure-function investigation of vsp serotypes of the spirochete Borrelia hermsii.
<h4>Background</h4>Relapsing fever (RF) spirochetes are notable for multiphasic antigenic variation of polymorphic outer membrane lipoproteins, a phenomenon responsible for immune evasion. An additional role in tissue localization is suggested by the finding that isogenic serotypes 1 (Bt...
