Evaluation of the Leptospira interrogans Outer Membrane Protein OmpL37 as a Vaccine Candidate.
The identification of potential vaccine candidates against leptospirosis remains a challenge. However, one such candidate is OmpL37, a potentially surface-exposed antigen that has the highest elastin-binding ability described to date, suggesting that it plays an important role in host colonization....
