Epitope mapping of the p66 outer membrane protein of Borrelia burgdorferi revealed that the protein contains numerous cross-reactive linear epitopes recognized by serum antibody in the majority of individuals tested, regardless of Lyme disease history, limiting the usefulness of this antigen in Lyme disease serodiagnostic assays.
伯氏疏螺旋体p66外膜蛋白的表位作图显示,该蛋白含有众多交叉反应性线性表位,在大多数接受检测的个体中,无论其莱姆病病史如何,均可被血清抗体识别,这限制了该抗原在莱姆病血清诊断检测中的实用性。
