Figure 1 Typical immunoblot profiles for the positive controls and for the sera of patients with specific symptoms of Lyme borreliosis: 1, positive control IgG; 2, positive control IgM; 3, patient with arthritis IgG; 4, patient with ACA IgG; 5, patient with neuroborreliosis IgG; 6, patient with neuroborreliosis Igh4; 7, patient with erythema migrans IgG; 8, patient with erythema migrans IgM. Protein bands with molecular masses of 93, 83, 75, 66, 60, 55, 46, 41, 39, 37, 32.5, 30, 28, 22 and 18 kDa are regularly detected by the positive IgG control. Protein bands with molecular masses of 93, 60, 41, 37, 32.5 and 22–23 kDa were regularly detected by the positive IgM control.
