FIG. 1.
OspB binds to an I. scapularis TGE. FITC-labeled OspB (black bars), ErpT (white bars) from B. burgdorferi N40, and BSA (gray bars) were used to probe either fetal bovine serum (FBS)- or TGE-coated wells. Bars represent the OD450 values at 15 min (means ± standard deviations) from three experiments. The difference between the binding of OspB to TGE and that of either BSA (P < 0.001) or ErpT (P < 0.005) was significant.
