Borrelial proteins

Borrelial proteins are molecules found in Borrelia bacteria, which are known for causing diseases like Lyme disease and relapsing fever. These proteins play crucial roles in the bacteria's survival, helping them invade host tissues, evade the immune system, and reproduce. They can also trigger immune responses in infected individuals, leading to symptoms of illness. Understanding these proteins is important for developing better diagnostics and treatments for the diseases caused by Borrelia, enhancing our efforts to manage and prevent these infections effectively.
