We next conducted surface plasmon resonance analyses, a more physiological assay system, to further define the CFH domain interacting with HcpA.
While promoter activity could be detected for a number of the constructs, the absence of evidence of cell-type specificity, i.e. absence of clear and consistent differences in promoter activity for the various constructs between the retinal and non-retinal cell lines, led us to utilize a more physiological assay for assessing retinal promoter activity.

Having demonstrated binding of CFHRs to intact borrelial cells, the role of CFHR for complement resistance was assayed under more physiological conditions.
Further reduction in the numbers of such animal tests may be achieved if more physiological data can be obtained from assays in simpler organisms such as zebrafish.
