Borrelia burgdorferi radiosensitivity and Mn antioxidant content: antigenic preservation and pathobiology by Andrés F. Londoño, Ajay Sharma, Jared Sealy, Vipin S. Rana, Shelby D. Foor, Vera Y. Matrosova, Elena K. Gaidamakova, Robert P. Volpe, Michael J. Daly, Brian M. Hoffman, Utpal Pal, J. Stephen Dumler

“…These data also suggest a path forward in the development of novel vaccines against spirochete infections, including Lyme disease, through preparation involving the synthetic Mn2+-decapeptide-phosphate antioxidant complex MDP to provide B. burgdorferi epitope protection during sterilizing gamma-irradiation that eliminates growth. Given the current lack of effective whole-cell vaccines for Lyme disease, this research identifies a potential strategy for developing alternative radiation-inactivated, yet highly effective vaccines.…”
