Bacterial heat shock proteins (Hsps) are abundantly produced during the course of most microbial infections and are often targeted by the mammalian immune response. While Hsps have been well characterized for their roles in protein folding and secretion activities, little attention has been given to

Antibodies to the outer surface lipoprotein A (OspA) of Borrelia burgdorferi confer protection to SCID mice against subsequent tick-borne or experimental infection. However, OspA-specific antibodies are hardly detectable in naturally infected humans, dogs, hamsters and mice. This is most probably du
