Surface-associated filamentous hemagglutinin induces autoagglutination of Bordetella pertussis [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1994 Filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) is a major adhesin produced by Bordetella pertussis, the etiologic agent of whooping cough. FHA has been shown to be surface associated but is also secreted by virulent bacteria. Microscopic observations of lungs of mice infected with B. pertussis showed that the bacteria grow as clusters within the alveolar lumen.

Proinflammatory and Proapoptotic Activities Associated withBordetella pertussisFilamentous Hemagglutinin [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2001 ABSTRACTFilamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) is a dominant cell surface-associatedBordetella pertussisadhesin. Recognition that this protein is secreted in significant amounts and that bacterial adhesins may have other actvities, prompted an assessment of FHA effects on human macrophages.

Mutant of Bordetella pertussis which lacks ability to produce filamentous hemagglutinin [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1982 Mutant cultures that lacked the ability to produce filamentous hemagglutinin were obtained by UV irradiation of Bordetella pertussis strain 18-323. Various biological activities of these mutants were compared with those of the parent culture. It was found that the leukocytosis-promoting, histamine-sensitizing, and mouse-protecting activities of the ...

Mucosal immunization with filamentous hemagglutinin protects against Bordetella pertussis respiratory infection [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1992 Mucosal immunization of mice with purified Bordetella pertussis filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), by either the respiratory or the gut route, was found to protect against B. pertussis infection of the trachea and lungs. Intranasal immunization of BALB/c and (C57BL/6 x C3H/HeN)F1 adult female mice with FHA prior to B. pertussis aerosol challenge resulted
