[Comparative analysis of use of two strains of various genotypes of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato as antigens for antibody identification in Ixodes tick borreliosis by indirect immunofluorescence].
The results of the indirect reaction of immune-fluorescence (IRIF) was studied in testing 49 sera of 19 patients with Lyme-borreliosis with antigens of genotypes Borrelia afzeli (strain Jp-21) and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (strain No. 17); rabbit fluorescini-sothiocyanate-marked conjugates to human immunoglobulins M and G as well as polyvalent conjugate were used of. No reliable differences were found between all positive and all negative results. The biggest portion of positive results was registered in tests with anti-G-conjugate (up to 92% with strain No 17).
