Lyme disease research studies often require generation of ticks infected with the pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi, a process that typically takes several weeks. Here we demonstrate a microinjection-based tick infection procedure that can be accomplished within hours. We also demonstrate an immunofluorescence method for in situ localization of B. burgdorferi within ticks.

Colpitts1 1 Department of Microbiology, Boston University School of Medicine, National Emerging Infections Diseases Laboratories, Boston, MA First discovered by Lederberg and Tatum in 1946, conjugation is a form of horizontal gene transfer between bacteria that relies on direct physical contact between two bacterial cells (1). Unlike other forms of gene transfer, such as transformation or transduction, conjugation is a naturally occurring process in which...
FAQs
The process depends on deliberately different interactions at each interface. A temporary carrier must pick up the biological material or patterned layer from its original substrate, then release it onto the target while the final interface establishes sufficient bonding. Balancing these adhesion, release, and bonding properties helps preserve structure and supports controlled placement during both transfer steps.
An intermediate carrier separates pickup from final deposition, allowing the material to be handled without requiring direct processing on the target substrate. This separation is valuable when the target cannot tolerate the conditions used to prepare or move the structure. It also supports integration of delicate layers with flexible biointerfaces, microfabricated devices, and tissue-engineering platforms.
Interface behavior and transfer control are central factors. The relative adhesion, release, and bonding properties determine whether the structure moves cleanly, remains attached to the intended surface, and maintains its pattern. Placement and alignment also affect the outcome, particularly when integrating functional layers or patterned biological materials into complex biomedical systems.
Rather than requiring every fabrication step to occur on the final substrate, this strategy permits preparation and relocation through an intermediate interface. That distinction expands substrate compatibility when the target is delicate, flexible, or otherwise unsuitable for direct processing. The resulting workflow can improve placement and alignment while preserving options for complex device integration.
A typical workflow begins with a biological material, patterned structure, or functional layer on its original substrate. A temporary carrier or intermediate interface then picks up the structure, after which the structure is positioned over the final target and deposited. The interfaces must support release from the carrier and bonding to the target without compromising the transferred feature.
The approach is useful when researchers need to combine delicate materials with substrates that cannot tolerate direct processing. Supported applications include flexible biointerfaces, microfabricated devices, and tissue-engineering platforms. By enabling controlled relocation, the method can help integrate components that are difficult to fabricate together, while improving placement, alignment, and compatibility within complex biomedical systems.
