Abstrakt: Aim: To study the ability of OspC recombinant proteins from Borrelia garinii and Borrelia afzelii isolated in West Siberia to interact with serum antibodies from patients with tick-borne borreliosis (TBB).
Materials and Methods: Recombinant antigens OspC B. garinii and OspC B. afrelii, serum samples from patients with TBB were used as well as solid-phase enzyme immunoassay and parametric and non-parametric statistical methods.
Results: Higher antigenic activity of B. garinii OspC compared with OspC from B. afzelii was observed when these recombinant proteins were compared in enzyme immunoassay. Detection rate of class M and G immunoglobulins to B. garinii OspC in sera of patients with TBB was 60.5% and 70% respectively.
Conclusion: Obtained results indicate high immunoreactivity of OspC recombinant proteins from B. garinii and B. afzelii and point to perspective of their combined use for serological diagnostics of TBB.
