Identification of Borrelia proteins by Ge-LC-MS/MS in mouse skin infected with Borrelia burgdorferi ss N40.Mice were inoculated intraperitoneally and the Borrelia infection was reactivated with clobetasol at 40 days post-infection. Proteins were identified using both Mascot and OMSSA algorithms. The numbers of identified peptides are in brackets.
