Selective ligand recognition by a diversity-generating retroelement variable protein.

PLoS Biology, 2008
Diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs) recognize novel ligands through massive protein sequence variation, a property shared uniquely with the adaptive immune response. Little is known about how recognition is achieved by DGR variable proteins.

Immunogenicity and protective efficacy of a newly developed tri-component diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccine in a murine model

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2018
Background/Purpose: Although assessing the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines via murine model studies faces limitations, preliminary assessments have been achieved by evaluating respiratory challenge and humoral ...

Genomic Survey of Bordetella pertussis Diversity, United States, 2000–2013

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
We characterized 170 complete genome assemblies from clinical Bordetella pertussis isolates representing geographic and temporal diversity in the United States. These data capture genotypic shifts, including increased pertactin deficiency, occurring amid

Expression of P.69/pertactin from Bordetella pertussis in a baculovirus/insect cell expression system: protective properties of the recombinant protein.

, 1993
The surface antigen P.69/pertactin of Bordetella pertussis has been expressed using the polyhedron promoter of baculovirus in cultured insect cells. Either full-length or truncated prn DNA was used to express P.69 pertactin.

Humoral immunity to adhesins and toxins of the pertussis pathogen in mice immunized with experimental acellular pertussis vaccines from biofilm and planktonic cultures of Bordetella pertussis

Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии
Introduction. Whooping cough remains an urgent health problem worldwide, including in countries with high vaccination rates, where, since the 1990s, there has been an increase in the incidence of whooping cough, an increase in the severity of the disease

Crucial role of antibodies to pertactin in Bordetella pertussis immunity [PDF]

, 2019
Pertussis, a serious infectious disease of the respiratory tract caused by Bordetella pertussis, is reemerging in vaccinated populations. Efforts to curtail this disease are hampered by limited insight into the basis of protective immunity ...

Prevention of aggregate formation through mechanism analysis in refolding of recombinant pertactin from Escherichia coli

, 2017
Production of natural pertactin for pharmaceutical use is limited by its low abundance. In this study, recombinant pertactin was highly expressed in the form of inclusion bodies in E. coll.

Prevalence and characterization of pertactin deficient Bordetella pertussis strains in Brazil, a whole-cell vaccine country

, 2021
Many countries have reported antigenic divergence among circulating Bordetella pertussis strains, mainly in those countries which introduced the acellular pertussis (aP) vaccine. This phenomenon can be seen, for example, with the recent rise of pertactin
