Heterogeneity of the filamentous haemagglutinin of Bordetella pertussis studied with monoclonal antibodies.
The filamentous haemagglutinin of Bordetella pertussis has been purified from static, liquid culture supernatants and from extracts of cells grown on a solid medium. SDS-PAGE of the purified protein has shown multiple polypeptides with molecular weights ranging from 220 000 to about 58 000. By transferring the SDS-dissociated polypeptides to nitrocellulose paper and reacting with several monoclonal antibodies, it has been shown that many of the polypeptides are probably fragments of the polypeptide of highest molecular weight.
