ILiAD Biotechnologies Reports Preliminary Data Demonstrating Pertussis Vaccine Candidate BPZE1, but Not Boostrix, Induces Functional Bactericidal Antibodies Against Pertactin Negative B. Pertussis
ILiAD Biotechnologies, LLC (ILiAD) presented a breakthrough finding today on the effect of BPZE1, a live attenuated intranasal pertussis vaccine, on serum bactericidal activity (SBA) against PRN(+) and PRN(-) Bordetella pertussis strains at the virtual ID Week 2021 conference (sponsored by Infectious Disease Society of America). Pertactin (PRN) is a highly immunogenic virulence factor secreted by Bordetella pertussis (B. pertussis). Evolutionary changes in B. pertussis in response to selection pressure from acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines are believed to have led to variant strains that are PRN deficient (PRN-).
