Evolution of the vls Antigenic Variability Locus of the Lyme Disease Pathogen and Development of Recombinant Monoclonal Antibodies Targeting Conserved VlsE Epitopes
VlsE (variable major protein-like sequence, expressed) is an outer surface protein of the Lyme disease pathogen (Borreliella species) responsible for its within-host antigenic variation and a key diagnostic biomarker of Lyme disease. However, the high sequence variability of VlsE poses a challenge t...
