Allelic variations between vaccine strains and circulating strains in pxtP of Bordetella pertussis in Iran

open access: yesVaccine Research, 2015
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

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
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.

Intranasal application of a bifunctional pertactin-RTX fusion antigen elicits protection of mouse airway mucosa against Bordetella pertussis colonization

open access: yesmSphere
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.

Preventing infections after CD19‐directed chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell therapies for lymphoma: a consensus practice statement

open access: yesInternal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
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.

Seroprevalence of diphtheria and pertussis immunoglobulin G among children with pneumonia in Ji’nan, China

open access: yesBMC Pediatrics, 2018
Background Vaccination is still one of the most important methods to control and prevent childhood infections including diphtheria and pertussis. This study evaluated the level of diphtheria (DT) and pertussis (PT)-related antibodies among children with ...

Update on Selected Adverse Events of Concern Following Immunization With Acellular Pertussis Vaccines, a Narrative Review

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, Volume 115, Issue 11, Page 2370-2379, November 2026.
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]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1985
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.

Simultaneous Determination of Antibodies to Pertussis Toxin and Adenylate Cyclase Toxin Improves Serological Diagnosis of Pertussis

open access: yes, 2021
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.

A novel method for the extraction of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from Bordetella pertussis Tohama strain

open access: yesIranian Journal of Microbiology, 2020
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.
