In brief
This study investigates immune correlates of protection against pertussis, focusing on serum antibody levels and memory B cell responses. Findings reveal that maternal immunity alone is insufficient to protect neonates, highlighting the need for improved vaccination strategies in vulnerable infant populations.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
Pertussis is a respiratory infection caused by Bordetella pertussis that may be particularly severe and even lethal in the first months of life when infants are still too young to be vaccinated.
