The objective of this study was to characterize low molecular weight proteins of B. burgdorferi sensu lato. Our main focus was a protein around 12 kDa, that is reactive with D6, a monoclonal antibody specific for B. garinii isolates. Proteins of a B. garinii isolate (VS 102) were prepared as described schematically below. The Bb477, Bb061, Bb390 open reading frames of 28 isolates (5 B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, 5 B. afzelii, 13 B. garinii and 5 B. valaisiana) was analysed by PCR and DNA sequencing using the BigDye chemistry. Sequence alignments were done with clustalw included in the Vector NTI advance package (Invitrogen). Genes were cloned and expressed in E. coli PQR9. Putative epitope sequence was synthezised and mab D6 was saturated and to observe absence of reactivity.

All 3 complete genes were amplified by PCR from 13 to 28 isolates. DNA sequences were translated and aligned.

All 3 complete genes were amplified by PCR from 13 to 28 Borrelia isolates belonging to B. burgdorferi, B. afzelii, B. garinii and B. valaisiana. TrxA and rpIL were expressed in E. coli PQR9 and mab D6 showed weak reactivity to recombinant TrxA protein and no reactivity to recombinant rpIL. Based on sequence alignements, epitope was suspected to be in position 7-12 of TrxA A synthetic peptide was ordered and was used for immuno-absorption. It confirmed that epitope of mab D6 corresponds to KEDFVA sequence of Thioredoxyne A protein (amino acids 7-12).
