[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borrelia_burgdorferi ''Borrelia burgdorferi'']are motile spirochetes that are carried by a hard- bodied deer tick of the family Ixodidae. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease Lyme disease], caused by ''Borrelia burgdorferi'', is involved in many serious disorders of the skin, nervous and cardiac system. The bacterium consists of outer surface proteins that play an important role in helping the bacteria colonize and survive in the tick. Of these, a major lipoprotein is Osp B. This outer surface protein has a property of becoming lysed without a direct complement with the antibody. Specifically, the C terminus on the Osp B contains a Lysine residue that recognizes the destructive IgG antibody, H6831. | [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borrelia_burgdorferi ''Borrelia burgdorferi'']are motile spirochetes that are carried by a hard- bodied deer tick of the family Ixodidae.
