Binding borrelia



Kathleen could probably best answer this, but anybody. If you want to
create an antibody to bind to borrelia reliably (not a vaccine), and
you obviously cannot use OspA because its immunogenic/dangerous for
some...is there anything else you can use? I was reading a review of
the literature, and from what I can see OspC generates endlessly
variable antigens so that's useless, and OspE binds human complement. I
don't see much about OspB or understand it or its uses or risks. Is
that it for the Osps or, maybe this is an idiotic question, but are
there other antibodies? I'm not necessarily talking about antibodies
that kill or protect, but simply bind reliably to the various strains.
TIA.
