Antigenic heterogeneity in subunit S1 of pertussis toxin. 1986

V Y Perera, and A C Wardlaw, and J H Freer

Culture supernates containing pertussis toxin (PT) from four strains of Bordetella pertussis were examined for both immunological reactivity and biological activity. PT from all four strains sensitized mice to histamine and toxin was detectable in supernates of all strains when examined by Western blotting with polyclonal antiserum to PT. In supernates of three of the four strains, PT was detectable by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using mouse monoclonal antibody to subunit S1 of PT as the third antibody layer. However, supernates from one strain, 18323, failed to react in ELISA. Electroblots probed with the monoclonal antibody labelled subunit S1 of PT from all strains except that of strain 18323. PT of strain 18323, whilst retaining histamine-sensitizing activity, differed antigenically from that of other strains.

D001886 Bordetella pertussis A species of gram-negative, aerobic bacteria that is the causative agent of WHOOPING COUGH. Its cells are minute coccobacilli that are surrounded by a slime sheath. Bacterium tussis-convulsivae,Haemophilus pertussis,Hemophilus pertussis
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
