Agglutinating monoclonal antibodies that specifically recognize lipooligosaccharide A of Bordetella pertussis.

چکیده
Monoclonal antibodies that specifically agglutinate strains of Bordetella pertussis having serotype 1 agglutinogen were uniquely reactive with the electrophoretically slow-migrating A form of lipooligosaccharide. These monoclonal antibodies should be useful for the structural analysis of B. pertussis lipooligosaccharide and for the establishment of a better-defined serogroup for Bordetella species.

Comparison of type 2 and type 6 fimbriae of Bordetella pertussis by using agglutinating monoclonal antibodies.
Two types of fimbriae have been identified on the pathogenic gram-negative organism Bordetella pertussis. Monoclonal antibodies to these fimbriae were produced to better understand the role of fimbriae as serotype-specific agglutinogens and to investigate the antigenic relationship between these fimbriae. Three monoclonal antibodies were identified that specifically agglutinated B. pertussis ce...
متن کاملSeroprevalence of IgG Antibodies against Bordetella pertussis in Different Age Groups in Tehran, Iran
Background and Aims: Pertussis is a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease. Determination of the seroepidemiology of pertussis makes possible the evaluation of pertussis immunity in a population. In this study, we determined the seroprevalence of Bordetella pertussis IgG antibodies in different age groups in Tehran, Iran. Materials and Methods: Overa...
متن کاملNeutralizing antibodies to adenylate cyclase toxin promote phagocytosis of Bordetella pertussis by human neutrophils.
A previous study showed that opsonization with human immune serum could either promote or antagonize phagocytosis of Bordetella pertussis by human neutrophils depending on whether the bacteria expressed adenylate cyclase toxin. Opsonization of the wild-type strain inhibited phagocytosis relative to unopsonized controls. In contrast, mutants lacking adenylate cyclase toxin were efficiently phago...
متن کاملEvaluation and validation of a monoclonal immunofluorescent reagent for direct detection of Bordetella pertussis.
An outbreak of pertussis in Manitoba, Canada, provided an opportunity to evaluate the recently developed monoclonal antibody (MAb) BL-5 for the direct detection of Bordetella pertussis. The MAb recognizes a lipooligosaccharide epitope. A total of 1,507 consecutive nasopharyngeal swabs for culture and companion smears for direct fluorescent-antibody (DFA) detection were evaluated at Cadham Provi...
متن کاملFimbrial typing of Bordetella pertussis isolates: agglutination with polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies.
On the basis of serotyping 62 strains of Bordetella pertussis, Guiso and colleagues (N. Guiso, C. H. Wirsing von König, C. Becker, and H. Hallander, Letter, J. Clin. Microbiol. 39:1684– 1685, 2001) concluded that monoclonal and polyclonal reagents showed good concordance but that the source of the monoclonal antibodies needed to be specified. We have conducted a similar study on 209 strains of ...
