| Summary: | Relevance. The development of effective and safe vaccines for pertussis prevention remains an urgent public health challenge.Aim. To study the protective activity and safety of acellular pertussis vaccine (AcPV) containing a complex of protective antigens from freshly isolated and vaccine strains of Bordetella pertussis.Materials and methods. Freshly isolated (No. 287, and No. 317) and vaccine (No. 305 and No. 475) B. pertussis strains with «non-vaccine» and «vaccine» allelic variants of the pertussis toxin (PT) subunit A gene, the PT promoter gene, the pertactin gene, the fimbria 2 gene, and the fimbria 3 gene strains were used for the production of AcPV.Results. All the studied variants of AcPV were harmless in the test of changes in the body weight of mice and sensitivity to histamine. The protective activity of AcPV3 (strains No. 287, No. 317 and No. 305) and AcPV1 (strains No. 287, No. 305 and No. 475) was higher than that of AcPV2 (strains No. 317, No. 305, and No. 475). IgG antibody titers to PT were also higher in mice immunized with AcPV1 and AcPV3.Conclusion. The higher protective activity of AcPV3 and AcPV1 may be associated with the genotype of strain No. 287, which has a ptxP3 PT promoter and is characterized by an increased level of PT production and high virulence. The most promising for further preclinical and clinical studies is AcPV3, which contains 2/3 of the antigens of the dominant «non-vaccine» genotype and 1/3 of the «vaccine» genotype, corresponding to the genes of PT, pertactin and fimbria to the currently circulating B. pertussis strains. |
