Abstrakt: Mice immunized with either the predominantly vector-stage lipoprotein outer surface protein A (OspA) or the in vivo-expressed lipoprotein decorin binding protein A (DbpA) are protected against Borrelia burgdorferi challenge. DbpA-OspA combinations protected against 100-fold-higher challenge doses than did either single-antigen vaccine and conferred significant protection against heterologous B. burgdorferi, B. garinii, and B. afzelii isolates, suggesting that there is synergy between these two immunogens.
