Effectiveness of orally administered Bordetella pertussis vaccine in mice. 1976

H Hof, and H Finger, and L Körner, and L Milcke

Oral administration of killed Bordetella pertussis organisms to mice results in increased resistance to an intracerebral infection with virulent B. pertussis cells. The rate of survival is dependent on the dose of antigen. But besides specific systemic immunity, which is persistent over a long period, also transient non-specific resistance is increased. These effects are evidently induced without penetration of bacterial substances into the circulation.

D010567	Pertussis Vaccine	A suspension of killed Bordetella pertussis organisms, used for immunization against pertussis (WHOOPING COUGH). It is generally used in a mixture with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids (DTP). There is an acellular pertussis vaccine prepared from the purified antigenic components of Bordetella pertussis, which causes fewer adverse reactions than whole-cell vaccine and, like the whole-cell vaccine, is generally used in a mixture with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids.
