Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to the development of chimeric OspA molecules for use in a new Lyme vaccine. More specifically, the chimeric OspA molecules comprise the proximal portion from one OspA serotype, together with the distal portion from another OspA serotype, while retaining antigenic properties of both of the parent polypeptides. The chimeric OspA molecules are delivered alone or in combination to provide protection against a variety of Borrelia genospecies. The invention also provides methods for administering the chimeric OspA molecules to a subject in the prevention and treatment of Lyme disease or borreliosis.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A composition comprising a combination of polypeptides, wherein the combination comprises (i) a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence with at least 90 percent sequence identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2, (ii) a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence with at least 90 percent sequence identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:4, and (iii) a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence with at least 9…
