PEPTIDES AND METHODS FOR THE DETECTION OF LYME DISEASE ANTIBODIES

摘要

Compositions (e.g., peptide compositions) useful for the detection of antibodies that bind to Borrelia antigens are disclosed. The peptide compositions comprise polypeptide sequences comprising variants in the IR6 domain of the Borrelia VIsE protein. Also provided are devices, methods, and kits comprising such peptide compositions and useful for the detection of antibodies that bind to Borrelia antigens and the diagnosis of Lyme disease.
