2004 SEP 1 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Expression of a C terminally truncated form of pertussis toxin S1 subunit effectively induces protection against pertussis toxin following DNA-based immunization.

"Four plasmids encoding different C terminally and N terminally truncated pertussis toxin S1 subunits of Bordetella pertussis were constructed and tested for inducibility of protection against pertussis toxin in mice after DNA-based immunization," investigators in Japan report.

"The region encoding an N-terminal 180-amino-acid fragment of the S1 subunit had the most potent ability to induce protective immunity," wrote Kazunari Kamachi and Yoshichika Arakawa at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases in Tokyo.

Kamachi and Arakawa published their study in Infection and Immunity (Expression of a C terminally truncated form of pertussis toxin ...
