The high immunogenicity effect of IR6 is thought to only occur in dead bacteria due to its low maximal theoretical surface exposure in living ''B. borgderfuri'' (13.7%). Interaction with anti-IR6 antibodies would be limited to the exposed <scene name='SB2013_L04gr5/Ir6_residues/1'>amino acid residues</scene>, Lys-274, Gln-279, Lys-291,Lys-294 (Eicken). These amino acids would be the likely targets of the host immune response. The immunodominant nature of VlsE, especially in IR6, makes it a viable diagnostic tool.<ref name="Marangoni" /> | The high immunogenicity effect of IR6 is thought to only occur in dead bacteria due to its low maximal theoretical surface exposure in living ''B. borgderfuri'' (13.7%).
