Antigen Information
Introduction
Pertussis toxin (PT) is a protein-based AB5-type exotoxin produced by Bordetella pertussis. It is a multi-subunit toxin which can bind to most cultured mammalian cells and targets specific G protein, inhibiting the ability of the G protein to function in signaling pathways. PT has been used to stimulate experimental autoimmune diseases in rodent models, such as experimental auto immune encephalitis (EAE). It was widely used as a biochemical tool to ADP-ribosylate GTP-binding proteins. In addition, it has also become an essential component of new acellular vaccines.
