ABSTRACT:
A method of purifying B. burgdorferi proteins comprising the steps of (a) disrupting a B. burgdorferi cell and fractionating the disrupted cell into membrane and cytoplasmic components; (b) resuspending the membrane component in a non-denaturing detergent thereby producing a solubilized protein and an insolubilized material and then separating said solubilized protein from said insolubilized material; (c) subjecting the solubilized protein to ion-exchange chromatography so as to produce protein fractions; and (d) assaying the protein fractions to identify those fractions which contain proteins of interest wherein the purified proteins of interest are in a biologically active form suitable for use in vaccines, is disclosed.
