3. Introduction
Borrelia burgdorferi is a species of Gram negative bacteria of the spirochete class of the genus Borrelia. B. burgdorferi is predominant in North America, but also exists in Europe, and is the agent of Lyme disease. It is a zoonotic, vector-borne disease transmitted by ticks and is named after the researcher Willy Burgdorfer who first isolated the bacterium in 1982. B. burgdorferi is one of the few pathogenic bacteria that can survive without iron, having replaced all of its iron-sulfur cluster enzymes with enzymes that use manganese, thus avoiding the problem many pathogenic bacteria face in acquiring iron (Wiki: B. burgdorferi).
4. Microbial Pathogenesis
B. burgdorferi is deposited in skin lesions left by Ixodes ticks, and can then invade the bloodstream leading to dissemination throughout the body and cause problems in joints and nervous tissues (Salyers and Whitt., 2002).
5. Host Ranges and Animal Models
White footed mouse are the reservoir of B. burgdorferi. The bacteria are carried by ticks which vector the bacteria to other hosts such as humans, as well as small mammals such as voles and shrews. Animal models include rabbits, mice and dogs (Salyers and Whitt., 2002).
6. Host Protective Immunity
In most people B. burgdorferi is cleared from the bloodstream via antibodies and phagocytic cells (Salyers and Whitt., 2002).

f. Immunization Route
Intramuscular injection (i.m.)
g. Mouse Response
  • Vaccination Protocol: Female C3H/HeN mice (6-10 weeks old) were injected with plasmid diluted in sterile 0.9% saline. Each mouse received intramuscular injections into left and right rectus femoris muscles with 50 J-lg of plasmid in 50 J-lL of saline. For immunization with protein, mice were injected in the back with purified B31 rOspA lipoprotein (Luke et al., 1997).
  • Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0000286
  • Immune Response: Sera from mice immunized with the ospA-bearing plasmid DNA had high levels of antibody that recognized both native and rOspA lipoprotein (Luke et al., 1997).
  • Challenge Protocol: Mice were challenged intradermally by injecting 100 x ID50 of the infectious isolate at the base of the tail (Luke et al., 1997).
  • Efficacy: Immunization with VR2210 protected 100% of mice against infection with Sh-2-82 or N40, 2 infectious strains of B. burgdorferi (Luke et al., 1997).

g. Immunization Route
Intradermal injection (i.d.)
h. Mouse Response
  • Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0000286
  • Immune Response: Both i.d. injection and gene-gun application of plasmid DNA encoding the ospC gene induced a reliable humoral response with high antibody titers, antigen-specific cellular responses and, most importantly, provided effective protection (Scheiblhofer et al., 2003).
  • Challenge Protocol: Control groups received challenge doses B. burgdorferi strain ZS7 of 10^4, 10^3, 10^2, and 10 live spirochetes per animal (Scheiblhofer et al., 2003).
  • Efficacy: The protection rate after challenge with 10 B. burgdorferi organisms per mouse was between 80% and 100% for all groups. These results demonstrate that a DNA vaccine encoding OspC of B. burgdorferi is suitable for inducing protection against Lyme borreliosis (Scheiblhofer et al., 2003).
