Filamentous Hemagglutinin (FHA) from Bordetella pertussis is a major virulence-associated adhesion factor secreted by these bacteria. It contains an arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) sequence. FHA is a derivative of its precursor FhaB.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Filamentous Hemagglutinin (FHA) from Bordetella pertussis enables the attachment of bacteria to the epithelium of the upper respiratory tract. The arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) sequence mediates the binding of FHA to sulfated polysaccharides and pulmonary macrophage integrins.
Physical form
lyophilized from 0.05 M Tris HCL, pH 8, with 0.5 M sodium chloride and 5% sucrose

Tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccination is recommended to be administered in every pregnancy. Although the safety of this strategy has been confirmed, the immunogenicity of Tdap vaccination in two successive pregnancies has not yet been described. This study investigated
Although B. bronchiseptica efficiently infects a wide range of mammalian hosts and efficiently spreads among them, it is rarely observed in humans. In contrast to the many other hosts of B. bronchiseptica, humans are host to the apparently specialized pathogen
