Possible serodiagnosis of pertussis infection by an immunoenzyme method

The sera of children and adults with a history of pertussis, as well as the sera of children immunized in three injections, have been studied in the enzyme immunoassay. The levels of antibodies to Bordetella pertussis protein and lipopolysaccharide, and to disintegrated B. pertussis cells have been...

Summary:The sera of children and adults with a history of pertussis, as well as the sera of children immunized in three injections, have been studied in the enzyme immunoassay. The levels of antibodies to Bordetella pertussis protein and lipopolysaccharide, and to disintegrated B. pertussis cells have been determined; a serum titer of 1:1,600 and higher is considered as a criterion for the serological diagnosis of pertussis.
