Western Blot bands 30 and 31

[Guest guest]

I want to point out that a member of Lyme Aid sent me a paper written by Dr

Crist (please see http://www.drcharlescrist.com/index.htm for more

information) that says the 30kDa is the same as 31kDa, both being reactive

to Outer Surface protein A. Dr Crist says that the medical literature says

they are the same, but alas, does not include citations to that medical

literature.

Does anyone have the latest edition of Vanderhoof-Forschner's book

Everything You Need to Know About Lyme Disease? Could you look to see if

the 30kDa band has been updated? If so, will you look in the back of the

book in the Index to see the citation where that information comes from and

let me know what it says?

Please note: I have seen kD and kDa used interchangeably in the literature.

They both mean kilodalton which is an atomic mass unit, or best described in

layman's terms as how much something (very tiny) weighs. It appears to me

that kDa is the updated abbreviation.
