ABSTRACT:
A polynucleotide encoding a 17-kD virulence protein, called EppA, from Borrelia burgdorferi is provided. The protein encoded by the polynucleotide of the invention is useful immunologically as a vaccine for Lyme borreliosis caused by B. burgdorferi. Methods and kits for detection of EppA polynucleotide are also provided.
