OspB consists of .
H6831 along with CB2 are a monoclonal antibodies.
H6831 appears to have a bactericidal effect on OspB in the absence of complement proteins.
Potential Catalytic Triad

Proposed Mechanism
There are 3 residues that exist on the eliminated B-sheet of OspB that highly resemble the catalytic triad on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serine_protease Serine proteasoccur.
