Outer surface protein A (OspA) is a major lipoprotein [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipoprotein] on the borrelia burgdorferi spirochete which is a causative agent of Lyme Disease. The three loops in the C-terminus define the OspA antigen-antibody complex. The interaction between the loops and the LA-2 (antibody) forms the basis for OspA vaccination. Along with other surface proteins, OspA has many important functions that are associated with Lyme Diseases uch as late stage neurological disorders.
