title: Serum anti-PT and anti-FHA antibody levels, and agglutinin titers after administration of acellular pertussis vaccines.
abstract: Simultaneous evaluation of acellular pertussis vaccines from three manufacturers (Takeda, Biken, and Chiba) was performed. After receiving two doses of acellular pertussis vaccine in the form of DPT (diphtheria pertussis tetanus), both infants and children showed high serum anti-PT (pertussis toxin) and anti-FHA (filamentous hemagglutinin) antibody levels. These levels were equivalent to those observed in children in the convalescent stage of natural pertussis infection. Children who received 2 doses of Biken vaccine showed higher anti-PT and anti-FHA antibody levels than those who received Takeda or Chiba vaccine. Elevation of agglutinin titers was observed in children who received either Takeda or Chiba vaccine.
