Intranasal application of a bifunctional pertactin-RTX fusion antigen elicits protection of mouse airway mucosa against Bordetella pertussis colonization
ABSTRACT The adenylate cyclase toxin (ACT, AC-Hly, or CyaA) plays a key role in airway infections by Bordetella pertussis and ablates the oxidative burst and opsonophagocytic capacity of sentinel phagocytes. CyaA fragments eliciting toxin-neutralizing antibodies are considered prime antigen candidat...
