  • Process for the purification of a 69,000 da outer membrane protein of Bordetella pertussis
    Patent number: 5101014
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a method for the purification of the 69 kDa outer membrane protein of Bordetella B. pertussis and the protein purified therewith. A preferred embodiment comprises the purification of the 69 kDa protein from Bordetella B. pertussis strain Bp 353. The present process is advantageous in that it does not require or involve the use of biologics (such as monoclonal antibodies) and therefore simplifies the purification procedure and makes the resulting purified protein particularly advantageous for inclusion in acellular vaccines.
