A Bivalent Recombinant Mycobacterium bovis BCG Expressing the S1 Subunit of the Pertussis Toxin Induces a Polyfunctional CD4+ T Cell Immune Response

Background. A recombinant BCG strain expressing the genetically detoxified S1 subunit of pertussis toxin 9K/129G (rBCG-S1PT), previously constructed by our research group, demonstrated the ability to develop high protection in mouse models of pertussis challenge which correlated with the induction o...
