Antigenic variation in relapsing fever Borrelia
The spirochete Borrelia hermsii avoids the immune response of its mammalian host through multiphasic antigenic variation. Serotype specificity is determined by Variable major proteins (Vmp), in the outer membrane. Through a non reciprocal recombination between linear plasmids, a formerly silent vmp...
