Abstract excerpt
Strains of B. pertussis isolated from patients in Moscow in 2001-2005 as well as strains included in locally produced diphtheria-tetanus-whole cell pertussis (DTP) vaccine were studied. Nucleotide sequences in genes of pertactin and S1-subunit of pertussis toxin of isolated strains, their immunobiological properties and opportunity to use for producing of the acellular pertussis vaccine were determined. Genes of...
