摘要
Most acellular pertussis vaccines contain a form of pertussis toxin (PT) detoxified by chemical treatment. The Chiron-Vaccines product is unique because it contains a genetically detoxified pertussis toxin. This molecule showed absolute safety, an antigenic profile similar to wild-type PT, and an immunogenicity that is superior to all chemically detoxified PTs. In the efficacy trial, the vaccine containing the genetically detoxified PT demonstrated early and long-lasting protection. (C) 1999 The International Association for Biologicals.
