Using available Borrelia outer surface protein C (OspC) sequences, a phylogenetic analysis was undertaken to delineate the number of antigenic domains required for inclusion in a broadly protective, chimeric, OspC-based Lyme disease vaccine. The data indicate that approximately 34 would be required and that an OspC-based vaccinogen is feasible.
利用现有的疏螺旋体表面蛋白C(OspC)序列进行系统发育分析,以确定一种广泛保护性的、嵌合的、基于OspC的莱姆病疫苗所需包含的抗原结构域数量。数据表明大约需要34个,且基于OspC的疫苗原是可行的。
