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. Background : In Europe,Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato isolates belong to 4 major species: B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. afzelii, B. garinii and B. valaisiana. 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.

It confirmed that epitope of mab D6 corresponds toKEDFVA sequence of Thioredoxyne A protein (amino acids 7-12). Conclusion 2: 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 Conclusion 1: After purification of low molecular mass proteins of B. garinii, partial sequences of 3 proteins of Borrelia burgdorferi were obtained from the mass spectrometry analysis: Bb390 (50s ribosomal protein L7/L12, rpIL), Bb477 (30S ribosomal protein S10, rpsJ), BB061 (thioredoxine A, TrxA). 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.
