Host Response

Mouse Response

  • Host Strain: C3H/HeJ
  • Vaccination Protocol: Mice were immunized by intraperitoneal injection of 10 μg of DbpAN40, 10 μg of OspAN40, 5 μg of DbpAN40 plus 5 μg of OspAN40, or 2.5 μg of E. coli protein extract with complete Freund's adjuvant and then, 4 weeks later, were given a second immunization of protein in incomplete Freund's adjuvant (Hanson et al., 2000).
  • Challenge Protocol: At week 6, five of the mice in each immunization group were challenged by subcutaneous injection, into the dorsolateral thorax, of cloned B. burgdorferi N40 (Hanson et al., 2000).
  • Efficacy: Mice immunized with recombinant DbpA protein are protected against challenge with Borrelia burgdorferi. Nearly all mice immunized with 10 μg of DbpAN40 were protected from challenge with 10^3 or 10^4 spirochetes (Hanson et al., 2000).
