2. Fig. 1
Transmission electronmicrograph of Borrelia burgdorferi strain sensu strictu showing the corkscrew shape and motility, and the outer-membrane surrounding a periplasmic space that contains the variable number of flagella and the protoplasmic cylinder. Insert: Immuno-electronmicrograph using a polyclonal antiserum against Borrelia burgdorferi, demonstrating that a bleb formed during in-vitro culture is an integral part of the bacterial cell.

3. Fig. 2
Transmission electronmicrograph of a human synovial cell infected with Borrelia burgdorferi in vitro, demonstrating an intracellular cytosolic location of the spirochaetes, identified by multiple corkscrew-shaped structures in the cytosol.

5. Fig. 4
Molecular mimicry in Lyme arthritis, depicting antigen-presenting cells (in this case monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and synovial fibroblasts) presenting peptides generated from borrelial OspA and host LFA-Ia (human leucocyte function-associated antigen 1), which induce a cross-reactive T-cell response.

6. Fig. 5
Coiling phagocytosis of Borrelia burgdorferi by a cluster of human peripheral blood monocytes with their borders outlined in the scheme. The central cell shows multiple coiling phagocytosis figures probably trying to engulf one single spirochaete.
