Bordetella pertussis Antigen (Pertussis Toxin + Filamentous Hemagglutinin + Pertactin + Fimbriae Types 2 & 3)

Molecular classification
Toxin, Adhesin, Surface protein, Pili
01

Overview

A combination of key antigens from *Bordetella pertussis*, including pertussis toxin (PT), filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), pertactin (PRN), and fimbriae types 2 and 3 (Fim2, Fim3). These antigens are used in acellular pertussis vaccines to induce protective immunity by stimulating antibody responses against multiple virulence factors.
