Molecular Analysis of Sequence Heterogeneity among Genes Encoding Decorin Binding Proteins A and B of <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> Sensu Lato
1 Nov 1998
Abstract excerpt
Immunization of mice with Borrelia burgdorferi decorin binding protein A (DbpA), one of two gene products of the dbpBA locus, has been shown recently to confer protection against challenge. Hyperimmune DbpA antiserum killed a large number of B. burgdorferi sensu lato isolates of diverse phylogeny and origin, suggesting conservation of the protective epitope(s). In order to evaluate the heterogeneity of DbpA and...
