Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY/ABSTRACT</h4> Pertussis toxin (PT) is a key protective antigen in vaccine- and natural immunity-mediated protection from Bordetella pertussis infection. Despite its importance, no PT-neutralizing epitopes have been characterized structurally. To define neutralizing epitopes and identify key structural elements to preserve during PT antigen design, we determined a 3.6 Å cryo-electron microscopy struct...
