Immunity to Lyme disease: protection, pathology and persistence
Curr Opin Immunol.
1996 Aug.
Abstract
Persistence of the Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, in the presence of an active immune response has been well documented. Evidence from the past year indicates that modulation of surface antigens by the spirochete may be a major mechanism for evading the immune response.
