    摘要: The present invention relates to DNA sequences encoding Vmp-like polypeptides of pathogenic Borrelia, the use of the DNA sequences in recombinant vectors to express polypeptides, the encoded amino acid sequences, application of the DNA and amino acid sequences to the production of polypeptides as antigens for immunoprophylaxis, immunotherapy, and immunodiagnosis. Also disclosed are the use of the nucleic acid sequences as probes or primers for the detection of organisms causing Lyme disease, relapsing fever, or related disorders, and kits designed to facilitate methods of using the described polypeptides, DNA segments and antibodies.

    摘要: The invention relates to a DNA segment encoding a Borrelia burgdorferi antigenic polypeptide. The invention also relates to a purified 30 kDa polypeptide isolated from a virulent strain of B. burgdorferi and to epitopic segments of the polypeptide with immunogenic potential. The 30 kDa protein provides a route for the development of immunodiagnostics for Lyme disease and related disorders. The 30 kDa protein and related amino acid and DNA sequences may also be used for the immunization, for the detection of B. burgdorferi in human or animal tissues or body fluids, and also for the generation of specific antibodies for use in diagnosis, epidemiology, and prevention of Lyme disease.
