Bordetella pertussis PT and FHA ELISAs
Two innovative new ELISA systems provide separate detection of the diagnostically relevant antibodies in Bordetella pertussis infections: antibodies against pertussis toxin (PT) and antibodies against filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA). Independent determination of these antibodies is critical to enable a meaningful diagnostic interpretation, as emphasised in recent publications. Determination of IgG antibodies against PT is a front-line […]
