<i>Borrelia miyamotoi in vivo</i> antigenic variation demonstrated by serotype reisolations from infected mice. [PDF]

Infect Immun
Relapsing fever Borrelia (RFB) employs antigenic variation to alter its surface protein structure in response to host immune pressure. This process occurs by the single translocation of archived variable major protein (Vmp) pseudogenes into a vmp ...
