Serologic assays are the mainstay of laboratory testing for assessing exposure to Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme borreliosis. The purpose of this procurement is to obtain specimens and supporting clinical information to establish a standardized national repository of control serum samples for the study of Lyme borreliosis. This repository and clinical information database will be maintained by staff at the Division of Vector-borne Infectious Diseases, CDC. Eventually this serum bank should have samples from patients with diverse manifestations of Lyme borreliosis, from healthy donors, and from patients with other illnesses (either within the differential diagnosis of Lyme disease or known to elicit cross-reacting antibodies) for use in evaluating improved serologic tests. The vendor shall perform the following tasks and complete them within two years of the award of this contract: 1.)

Each sample should be at minimum the serum resulting from the collection of three 10-mL vials of whole blood, that is, approximately 15 mL per patient, but up to 25 mL is desirable. 3.) Task III: Develop and summarize clinical and laboratory information in support of the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis for each patient. 4.) Task IV: Store serum samples in 5 mL screw cap cryotubes at -70 degrees C. and ship them to CDC on dry ice.
