Serum sensitive strain Borrelia garinii A87S was incubated with 12.5% NHS in the presence of BSA, Salp15, rP19, rP23 or rP8 for (A) 1.5 hours; or (B) 4.5 hours and the percentage of immotile spirochetes were determined. Control spirochetes were incubated with heat-inactivated NHS (HI). Two hundred spirochetes were counted. Results represent mean ± SEM of values from a representative of 3 replicate experiments.
