LA-2 fab recognizes the three surface-exposed loops; loop1, loop 2 and loop 3 of the C-terminal domain of OspA that are on the tip of the elongated molecule most distant from the lipid-modified N terminus. Residues 203 to 220 in “loop 1“,residues 224 to 233 in “loop 2“ and residues 246 to 257 in “loop 3“are mostly effected by la-2 binding. In loop 1 residues 206 and 216 are not affected. The interactions between OspA and LA-2 include eight direct hydrogen bonds, four solvent-bridged hydrogen bonds, three ion pairs, and numerous van der Waals interactions.<ref name = "interactions">•Ding W, Huang X, Yang X, Dunn JJ, Luft BJ, Koide S, Lawson CL.
