Description
The SeraSpot MicroArray for the determination of Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies combines the standardized and established ELISA technique with microarray analytics. Highly specific antigens of Borrelia burgdorferi are applied as spots onto the bottom of microtiter plate wells on a nanoliter scale. Controls are integrated into each well.
The SeraSpot MicroArray analyzes the following Borrelia burgdorferi IgG and IgM antibodies and subspecies of Borrelia burgdorferi with high specificity:
VlsE (Borrelia burgdorferi afzelii), p39 (B.b. afzelii), p58 (B.b. garinii), p100 (B.b. afzelii), OspC (B.b. afzelii + B.b. garinii + B.b. sensu stricto), DbpA (B.b. afzelii + B.b. garinii + B.b. sensu stricto).
Explanation: Osp = Outer Surface Protein | VlsE = Variable major protein-like sequence, Expressed
