Recombinant B. burgdorferi VlsE Protein, MBP-tagged

• Cat.No.: VlsE-13B
• Product Overview: Recombinant VlsE is a fusion protein with an MBP tag and was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Borreliella burgdorferi B31
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: MBP
• Description: Many parasites have evolved antigenic variation systems that alter their surface proteins in order to evade recognition by an immune response and subsequent death. Variable Lipoprotein Surface-Exposed protein (VlsE) is a lipoprotein located on the surface of the Lyme Disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, which is detectable throughout its life stages and is believed to be involved in host immune evasion. Strain B31 is the type strain (ATCC 35210) for this organism and was derived by limited dilutional cloning from the original Lyme-disease tick isolate obtained by A. Barbour.
