p35 is a fusion protein with an MBP tag and was expressed in E.coli. Analysis by SDS-PAGE resulted in a pattern consistent with purified p35 and was estimated to be greater than 95% pure.

The p35 kDa protein of the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi is being investigated for use as an early diagnostic marker of Lyme Disease. Borrelia may change its antigenic composition in its need for adaptation to stresses imposed by changes in conditions from cycling between its arthropod and mammalian hosts. This...
