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.

Pharmacology
Indication 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.

Targets

1. Toll-like receptor 2

Pharmacological action: yes
Actions: other/unknown

Cooperates with LY96 to mediate the innate immune response to bacterial lipoproteins and other microbial cell wall components. Acts via MyD88 and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. May also promote apoptosis in response to lipoproteins. Recognizes mycoplasmal macrophage-activating lipopeptide-2kD (MALP-2), soluble tuberculosis factor (STF), phenol-soluble modulin (PSM) and B.burgdorferi outer surface protein A lipoprotein (OspA-L) cooperatively with TLR6
