Borrelial protein BBK32 was evaluated as an antigen in the serodiagnosis of early and disseminated Lyme borreliosis (LB). bbk32 was cloned and sequenced from eight isolates of the three pathogenic Borrelia species. The identities between the amino acid sequences of the BBK32 proteins from Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. garinii, and B. afzelii isolates were 71 to 100%. By immunoglobulin G (IgG) Western blotting (WB) or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), up to 74 and 100% of acute- ...[more]
