Description | Vaccine 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/Disease | For prophylactic treatment of Lyme Disease |
Pharmacodynamics | OspA lipoprotein is a single polypeptide chain of 270 amino acids. It is a vaccination used to prevent Lyme Disease. |
Mechanism of Action | OspA 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. |
