Antibody-resistant mutants of Borrelia burgdorferi: in vitro selection and characterization. [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1992 We used polyclonal antisera and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to inhibit the growth of clonal populations of two strains of Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease agent, and thereby select for antibody-resistant mutants.

Structural analysis of the variable major proteins of Borrelia hermsii. [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1983 Borrelia hermsii undergoes spontaneous antigenic variation in vivo and in vitro. Serotype specificity is associated with expression of one of a family of molecular weight-variable proteins, the pI proteins.
