The proteome of the spirochete bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, the tick-borne agent of Lyme disease, has been characterized by two different approaches using mass spectrometry, providing a launching point for future studies on the dramatic changes in protein expression that occur during transmission of the bacterium between ticks and mammals.
莱姆病的蜱传病原体——螺旋体伯氏疏螺旋体的蛋白质组,已通过两种不同的质谱分析方法进行了表征,这为未来研究该细菌在蜱和哺乳动物之间传播过程中发生的蛋白质表达的显著变化提供了一个起点。
