Demonstration of the Involvement of Outer Surface Protein E Coiled Coil Structural Domains and Higher Order Structural Elements in the Binding of Infection-Induced Antibody and the Complement-Regulatory Protein, Factor H

Factor H (fH) is an important regulator of the alternative complement cascade. Several human pathogens have been shown to bind fH to their surface, a process that facilitates immune evasion or cell to cell interaction. Among the pathogens that bind fH are some Borrelia species associated with Lyme d...
