When the three serotypes of Bordetella pertussis (types 1,2,3; 1,2 and 1,3) were labelled with agglutinins and protein-A gold, agglutinogen 1 was found on fimbriae and on the cell surface of types 1,2,3 and 1,2 but on the cell surface only of non-fimbriate type 1,3 organisms. In contrast, agglutinogen 2 was located on fimbriae only. Agglutinogen 3 was not labelled. When protein-A gold was replaced by immunoglobulin-G gold, agglutinogen 3 was found on the cell surface only, even of fimbriate bacteria of type 1,2,3. The implications of these findings for acellular vaccines are discussed.
当用凝集素和蛋白A金标记百日咳博德特氏菌的三种血清型(1、2、3型;1、2型和1、3型)时,在1、2、3型和1、2型的菌毛及细胞表面发现了凝集原1,但仅在无菌毛的1、3型菌株的细胞表面发现了凝集原1。相比之下,凝集原2仅位于菌毛上。凝集原3未被标记。当用免疫球蛋白G金取代蛋白A金时,即使是1、2、3型有菌毛的细菌,凝集原3也仅在细胞表面被发现。本文讨论了这些发现对无细胞疫苗的意义。
