The characterisation of an acellular pertussis vaccine composed of a genetically modified pertussis toxin, filamentous haemagglutinin and pertactin is described. The three antigens are submitted to a mild treatment with formaldehyde in the presence of lysine before their use in vaccine formulation. Characterisation is performed by amino acid analysis, SDS-PAGE, analytical size exclusion chromatography and, in the case of pertactin, isoelectrofocusing.

Abstract

The characterisation of an acellular pertussis vaccine composed of a genetically modified pertussis toxin, filamentous haemagglutinin and pertactin is described. The three antigens are submitted to a mild treatment with formaldehyde in the presence of lysine before their use in vaccine formulation. Characterisation is performed by amino acid analysis, SDS-PAGE, analytical size exclusion chromatography and, in the case of pertactin, isoelectrofocusing. The effect of some variables on pertactin formaldehyde treatment has been studied by means of isoelectrofocusing and mouse immunogenicity.
