Diagram of the VLA vaccine strategy. The vaccine has 3 engineered proteins. Each contains 2 forms of OspA from different Borrelia bacterial serotypes and a lipid modification to enhance immunogenicity. The OspA proteins are shown as octagons and the antibodies induced by the vaccine as the Y-shapes. The linker connecting the two OspA proteins is shown as a gray line and the lipid is represented by wavy lines. [Credit: Nancy R. Gough, Ph.D. BioSerendipity, LLC]
