The ability of decreasing inocula of Borrelia burgdorferi to grow in otherwise identical Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly (BSK) media containing different lots of bovine serum albumin (fraction V) was determined. These media differed significantly in ability to detect B. burgdorferi. Some BSK media required

Previous work showed that outer surface protein A (OspA) and OspB of Borrelia burgdorferi may occur within an extracellular multiprotein complex, which was resolved by electrophoresis as an 83-kDa major extracellular protein band. To characterize the 83-kDa band, we sequenced the N terminus of the

The sensitivity of six different ELISA techniques and calculation methods for the determination of intrathecal synthesis of IgG antibodies specific to Borrelia burgdorferi was investigated in paired CSF and serum specimens from 33 patients with neuroborreliosis. The diagnostic value of the Antibody

OBJECTIVE To examine the ability of bacterial lipoproteins from the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi to cause in vivo tissue injury (arthritis). METHODS Outer surface proteins (OSPs) from B burgdorferi were used in a rat model of antigen-induced allergic arthritis. Intraarticular challenge with

Canine Lyme disease is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi after transmission by an Ixodes tick, typically resulting in joint pain, fever and lethargy. Lyme nephritis is a poorly characterized syndrome associated with severe glomerular and tubular renal injury and poor clinical outcome in

Borrelia burgdorferi binds strongly to the extracellular matrix and cells of the connective tissue, a binding apparently mediated by specific proteins and proteoglycans. We investigated the interactions between B. burgdorferi cells and intact type I collagen using hydrated lattices that reproduce

Three-month-old chickens were inoculated intramuscularly with blood infected with Borrelia anserina. The serum levels of the enzymes alkaline and acid phosphatases (ALP and AcP), glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT), proteins, lipids, uric acid, blood sugar and inorganic phosphate were measure.

Lyme disease, a tick-borne infection with spirochete named Borrelia burgdorferi, is a complex multi-organ disorder involving neurological complication. Recently, the existence of Lyme disease was also recognized in middle Japan. We described here two cases of facial diplegia with elevated serum

OBJECTIVE The aims were to investigate the frequency of intrathecal synthesis of specific antibodies against measles (M), rubella (R) and varicella zoster (Z) viruses (MRZ reaction) as a diagnostic marker between multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuroborreliosis (NB) groups and to postulate the most

We describe a patient with Lyme's disease who showed neurologic symptoms of meningoradiculitis (Bannwarth's syndrome) and had no previous history of exposure to tick bite or chronic erythema migrans. He had longterm fever and bilateral facial paralysis. Antibody titres for Borrelia Burgdorferi in

A novel glycolipid was synthesized that corresponds to cholesteryl palmitoyl-galactopyranoside 1 found in the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. In order to fashion 1 in a conjugatable form, the palmitoyl residue was modified to include a terminal aldehydo moiety

Intravenous injection into adult Lewis rats of live Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochetal agent of Lyme disease, was followed by increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier. Permeability was measured by the ratio of 125I-labeled albumin in cerebrospinal fluid to that in blood. Permeability

A newly identified spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, has recently been established as the causal agent of chronic meningoradiculitis (Bannwarth's syndrome, BS). An etiological diagnosis can be obtained by specific antibody determination. To detect intrathecally produced Borrelia antibodies, we

Six solid substrates were compared for their support of growth of ten isolates of Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme borreliosis. The following substrates with or without rabbit serum and bovine serum albumin were tested: BSK agar, BHIAM agar, TAROM agar, MEM agar, MKP agar and PMR
