  • Title: The effect of pertussis vaccine on the immune response of mice to sheep red blood cells.
    Author: Dresser DW, Wortis HH, Anderson HR.
    Journal: Clin Exp Immunol; 1970 Dec; 7(6):817-31. PubMed ID: 4924108.
    Abstract:
    Bordetella pertussis is an adjuvant when given to mice immunized with sheep RBC. The adjuvant activity of pertussis is reflected in an increase in the number of cells producing antibody as measured by the localized haemolysis in gel technique. γG-PFC have a more marked response to pertussis than do γM-PFC, and in general γG-PFC are more sensitive than γM to variations in dose or injection schedule of pertussis organisms. Pertussis increases the response to doses of antigen which previously were considered to be maximal. The distribution of PFC between spleen, blood and lymph nodes is altered by pertussis injections.
