Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genetic background of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) proved to be important in the induction of immune protection against Bordetella pertussis infection in humans. Currently, the evaluation of the acellular pertussis (aP) vaccine depends largely on using different mouse strains, while the TLR4 genotype of different mouse strains in response to pertussis toxin (PT) is not carefully determined. The...
