Introduction: Despite high level of vaccination against pertussis‚ whooping cough has re-emerged as a health threat, especially in infants. This could be related to expansion of Bordetella pertussis with novel alleles for virulence factors including the ...

Dimerization of human PARP15 is required for NAD+ binding and automodification
This study provides an integrated structural model of human PARP15. Biophysical, enzymatic, and cell‐based analyses identify the dimer as the active oligomeric state capable of binding the substrate NAD+. A co‐crystal structure with a non‐hydrolyzable substrate analog BAD reveals the molecular basis for the dimerization requirement.

The adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT, AC-Hly, or CyaA) plays a key role in airway infections by Bordetella pertussis and ablates the oxidative burst and opsonophagocytic capacity of sentinel phagocytes.

Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T‐cell therapies directed against cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19) are a standard of care for relapsed or refractory B‐cell lymphomas. Infection is the leading cause of non‐relapse mortality, and this risk may persist for years after CAR T‐cell receipt.

ABSTRACT Aim To provide an update paper on evidence of adverse events of concern following immunization (AEFI) with pertussis vaccines, focusing primarily on acellular (aP) vaccines. Methods Evidence was synthesised from epidemiological studies, systematic reviews over recent decades, expert interpretations in reviews from relevant research teams and ...

Pertussis toxin is required for pertussis vaccine encephalopathy. [PDF]
A mouse model for encephalopathy induced by pertussis immunization has been described; it has features that closely resemble some of the severe reactions, including seizures and a shock-like state leading to death, occasionally seen after administration of Bordetella pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine.

Serological diagnosis of pertussis is mainly based on anti-pertussis toxin (PT) IgG antibodies. Since PT is included in all acellular vaccines (ACV), serological assays do not differentiate antibodies induced by ACVs and infection.

Background and Objectives: There are many pertussis outbreaks which is mainly due to the reduction in the immunity of acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines. Therefore, there is a crucial necessity to develop a new generation of pertussis vaccine.
