Correlation between Antigenicity and Variability in the vls Antigenic Variation System of Borrelia burgdorferi

Many parasites have evolved antigenic variation systems that alter surface proteins in order to evade recognition by presently expressed antibodies and subsequent death. Although the amino acid positions in antigens to which antibodies most commonly target are expected to be the most variable, this...
