name:	Immunodominant epitope in the C-terminus of a variable major protein in Borrelia duttonii, an agent of tick-borne relapsing fever.
description:	Overlapping regions of B. duttonii variable major protein P (vmpP) were produced as GST fusion proteins and tested for reactivity with rabbit anti-vmpP antibodies. In further studies designed to define the core of the epitope in this peptide, overlapping peptides spanning the peptide all reacted positively in ELISA.
