O antigen protects Bordetella parapertussis from complement.
Bordetella pertussis, a causative agent of whooping cough, expresses BrkA, which confers serum resistance, but the closely related human pathogen that also causes whooping cough, Bordetella parapertussis, does not. Interestingly, B. parapertussis, but not B. pertussis, produces an O antigen, a factor shown in other models to confer serum resistance. Using a murine model of infection, we determi...
متن کاملThe O antigen enables Bordetella parapertussis to avoid Bordetella pertussis-induced immunity.
Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis are closely related endemic human pathogens which cause whooping cough, a disease that is reemerging in human populations. Despite how closely related these pathogens are, their coexistence and the limited efficacy of B. pertussis vaccines against B. parapertussis suggest a lack of cross-protective immunity between the two. We sought to address ...
متن کاملReciprocal protective immunity against Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis in a murine model of respiratory infection.
The protective immunity induced by infection with Bordetella pertussis and with Bordetella parapertussis was examined in a murine model of respiratory infection. Convalescent mice that had been infected by aerosol with B. pertussis or with B. parapertussis exhibited a protective immune response against B. pertussis and also against B. parapertussis. Anti-filamentous hemagglutinin (anti-FHA) ser...
متن کاملThe O antigen is a critical antigen for the development of a protective immune response to Bordetella parapertussis.
Despite excellent vaccine coverage in developed countries, whooping cough is a reemerging disease that can be caused by two closely related pathogens, Bordetella pertussis and B. parapertussis. The two are antigenically distinct, and current vaccines, containing only B. pertussis-derived antigens, confer efficient protection against B. pertussis but not against B. parapertussis. B. pertussis do...
متن کاملExtraction of Outer membrane Vesicles from Vaccinal Strain of Bordetella Pertussis as the First Step of a Vaccine Candidate Study Against Pertussis Infection
Background: Pertussis is still one of the major public health problems. The increase of the disease emerged in recent decades due to the replacement of the reactogenic whole cell vaccine with the safer acellular vaccine and the genetic diversity of the bacterium. As outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) obtained from Bordetella pertussis contains surface immunogenic antigen in its structure, it has an...
