Localization of outer surface proteins A and B in both the outer membrane and intracellular compartments of Borrelia burgdorferi

J S Brusca et al. J Bacteriol. 1991 Dec.

Abstract

Borrelia burgdorferi B31 with and without outer membranes contained nearly identical amounts of outer surface proteins A and B. The majority of each immunogen also was localized intracellularly by immunocryoultramicrotomy. These results are inconsistent with the widely held belief that outer surface proteins A and B are exclusively outer membrane proteins.
