Role of attached lipid in immunogenicity of Borrelia burgdorferi OspA.
OspA is a protective antigen of the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Expression of the full-length B. burgdorferi B31 OspA gene in Escherichia coli produces a protein that is processed posttranslationally by signal peptidase II and contains an attached lipid moiety. The recombinant OspA lipoprotein has been purified by detergent extraction and ion-exchange chromatography. Priming a...
متن کاملSafety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of Borrelia burgdorferi outer surface protein A (OspA) vaccine: A meta-analysis.
INTRODUCTION Lyme borreliosis, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto in the United States and by several Borrelia species in Europe and Asia, has a great impact on the health of the global population. There are human vaccines available, such as the outer surface protein A (OspA) vaccine, but still more evidence is needed to verify its function. We investigated the safety, immunogenicity,...
متن کاملHost-adapted Borrelia burgdorferi in mice expresses OspA during inflammation.
Antibody responses to outer surface protein A (OspA) of Borrelia burgdorferi may occur during periods of arthritis late in the clinical course of untreated Lyme disease. These antibody responses are paradoxical, given the conclusive evidence demonstrating that B. burgdorferi transmitted to the mammalian host expresses little or no OspA. The parallel occurrence of OspA antibodies and arthritic e...
متن کاملospa sequence comparison and protection against borrelia burgdorferi infection in gerbils by recombinant ospa protein
lyme borreliosis is a tick-born disease caused by the spirochete borrelia burgdorferi. the aim of this research was molecular typing of different strains of b. burgdorferi and protective efficacy of outer surface protein in animal model. seven strains of b. burgdorferi isolated from skin and csf of lyme disease patients were compared using pcr- rflp as well as dna and amino acid sequences. the ...
