<scene name='G15SecL05Tpc3/Ospb/1'>Osp-B</scene> is a primary outer-surface lipoprotein molecule found in the Lyme disease spirochete ''Borrelia burgdorferi'', a molecule essential for the survival of the bacterium. Since its primary function is to serve both as a site of antibody recognition and as the microvillar attachment to the ''Ixodes scapularis'' midgut, it is constitutively expressed.
