Pertactin (Р. 69) - B.pertussis adhesive factor. Epitope mapping of synthetic peptides overlapping the pertactin region 536-566. ELISA, chromatography, isoelectric focusing, immunoblotting. The antigenic structure of region 536-566 of pertactin was studied, location of 5 sequential epitopes from this region was determined. It was shown that immunoblotting of the serum antibodies provides a possibility for analysis of cross-reactions of peptide-specific antisera. The approach for revealing the antibodies to the conjugated peptides in the presence of the antibodies to the cross-linking agent was proposed. Bioorganic chemistry, medicine.
