DescriptionVaccine against Lyme disease that contains lipoprotein OspA, an outer surface protein of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto ZS7, as expressed by Escherichia coli. Lipoprotein OspA is a single polypeptide chain of 257 amino acids with lipids covalently bonded to the N terminus. It is conjugated with alum (aluminum hydroxide) as an adjuvant.
Indication/DiseaseFor prophylactic treatment of Lyme Disease
PharmacodynamicsOspA lipoprotein is a single polypeptide chain of 270 amino acids. It is a vaccination used to prevent Lyme Disease.
Mechanism of ActionOspA lipoprotein, an outer surface protein of the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto ZS7, is used to stimulate the production of specific antibodies against B. burgdorferi. It is used as a vaccination against Lyme Disease, a disease carried by ticks.
