Research grant awarded to Johns Hopkins University to study antibody-mediated immunity to Borrelia burgdorferi, focusing on immune response mechanisms and therapeutic targets for Lyme disease.
Description
This project aims to understand the immune response to Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. The research focuses on how antibodies generated during infection may be reduced in functionality, potentially explaining the failure to clear the infection and identifying therapeutic targets.
