One of the virulence factors located on the surface of Bordetella pertussis is pertactin. Pertactin is a 69 kDa surface-located protein which, due to its ability to induce protective antibodies, is included in acellular pertussis vaccines. The contribution of this protein to Bordetella pathogenesis is under investigation; however, it appears to play a role in overcoming neutrophil-mediated clearance of Bordetella during early stages of establishing an infection. Pertactin is one of the most polymorphic B. pertussis proteins, occurring in the population in more than 13 variations. Pertactin offered by List Labs is isolated from the native B. pertussis strain 165.
