Extra Details:
CRASP-2 (Complement Regulator-Acquiring Surface Protein 2) of Borrelia burgdorferi binds FHL-1 and factor H binding protein in a distinct way. It may be predominantly expressed by serum-resistant Borrelia strains. Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato has the ability to evade immune systems to persist in a variety of vertebrate hosts. This activity is dependent on a number of factors. Some Borrelia species bind host-derived fluid-phase immune regulators FHL-1 and factor H to their surface via complement regulator-acquiring surface proteins (CRASPs). Factor H and FHL-1 serve as cofactors for factor I, a serine protease that cleaves complement component 3b (C3b) directly on the cell surface and thereby confers resistance of spirochetes to complement-mediated lysis. It is possible that because of discontinuous binding regions in the factor H/FHL-1, long distance interaction may be involved in binding of both immune regulators. Putative coiled-coil structural elements may be important in the interaction of B. burgdorferi CRASP-1 with factor H.
Formulation:

Host:
Rabbit
Immunogen:
MBP-fusion protein corresponding to Borrelia burgdorferi CRASP-2 protein.
Isotype:
IgG
Physical State:
Lyophilized
Reactivities:
Bacteria
Shipping Conditions:
Ambient
Specificity:
This product was Protein-A purified and cross-adsorbed against MBP from monospecific antiserum by chromatography. This antibody is specific for Borrelia burgdorferi CRASP-2 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest reactivity with CRASP-2 from B. burgdorferi sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Partial cross-reactivity is expected against B. garinii, B. spielmanii, and
