PROTECTIVE EFFICACY OF PERTACTIN CONTAINING ACELLULAR DPT VACCINES
Pertussis vaccination with the use of DPT vaccines is a necessary condition for fighting the infection called bordetella pertussis. At the same time, it is known that the use of whole cellular DPT vaccines is accompanied with high incidence of side effects and serious neurological complications, and, as a result, reasonable refuse from injections by ...

Polymorphism of Pertactin Gene Repeat Regions in Bordetella bronchiseptica Isolates from Pigs
Bordetella bronchiseptica pertactin (prn) is an outer membrane protein which has been implicated as both an adhesin and a protective antigen that induces immunity against atrophic rhinitis in pigs. Previous studies demonstrated extensive heterogeneity of the prn sequence within two distinct regions of amino acid repeats for B.
