Despite high vaccination coverage after introduction of whole cell (wP) and acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines, pertussis resurgence has been reported in many countries. aP vaccines are commonly preferred due to side effects of wP vaccines and formulated with aluminum hydroxide (Alum), which is not an effective adjuvant to eliminate Bordetella pertussis. Low efficiency of current aP vaccines is thought to be the main reason for the resurgence for which newer generation aP vaccines are needed. In the present study, immunogenicity and protective efficacy of outer membrane protein Q (OmpQ) and a putative lipoprotein (Lpp) from B. pertussis were investigated in mice by using two different adjuvants, monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) or Alum. OmpQ and putative Lpp were cloned, expressed, and purified from Escherichia coll. The proteins were formulated to immunize mice. Both recombinant OmpQ and putative Lpp induced a significant increase in immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) and immunoglobulin G2a (IgG2a) responses compared to the control group. Moreover, MPLA-adjuvanted formulations resulted in higher IgG2a levels than Alum-adjuvanted ones. However, there were no significant differences between test and control groups regarding interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) levels, and the mice lung colonization experiments indicated that neither rOmpQ nor rLpp could confer protection alone against B. pertussis challenge.

A comprehensive analysis of Bordetella pertussis surface proteome and identification of new immunogenic proteins
Tefon, Burcu E.; Maass, Sandra; Ozcengiz, Erkan; Becher, Doerte; Hecker, Michael; Özcengiz, Gülay (2011-04-27)
Whooping cough, caused by the gram negative pathogen Bordetella pertussis, is a worldwide acute respiratory disease that predominantly involves infants. In the present study, surface proteins of B. pertussis Tohama I and Saadet strains were identified by using 2DE followed by MALDI-TOF-MS/MS analysis and also geLC-MS/MS. With these approaches it was possible to identify 45 and 226 proteins, respectively. When surface proteins of the strains were separated by 2DE and analyzed by Western blotting for their re...
Towards whole cell immunoproteome and subproteomes of bordetella pertussis
Tefon, Burcu Emine; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biology (2012)
Bordetella pertussis is a gram-negative, human pathogen and etiologic agent of whooping cough (pertussis), a highly contagious, acute respiratory illness. In this study, the analysis of whole immunproteome and subproteomes of this microorganism was performed. The soluble cytoplasmic proteomes of B. pertussis Tohama I strain and a local isolate Saadet were separated by 2DE. By Western blot analysis, we identified 25 immunogenic proteins of three categories. In the first group, there were well-known proteins ...
Assessment of immune protective capacities of the recombinant outer membrane protein q, iron superoxide dismutase and putative lipoprotein from bordetella pertussis
Yılmaz, Çiğdem; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biology (2017)
Pertussis is a contagious disease which is commonly seen among infants and children and caused by a human pathogen known as Bordetella pertussis. There are currently two vaccine types available against the disease; whole-cell (wP) and acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines. Due to the side effects of wP vaccine, aP vaccines are commonly preferred for vaccination. Despite high vaccination coverage, high incidence rates among adolescents and adults have been reported causing the resurgence of pertussis to be the f...
FACTORS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH WILLINGNESS TO BE VACCINATED AND THE PERCEIVED EFFECTIVENESS OF VACCINES FROM ABROAD AND LOCAL VACCINES
Bilgen, Emine; Öner-Özkan, Bengi; Department of Psychology (2023-1)
The aim of this study is to examine the factors that predict people's vaccination decisions and the perceived effectiveness of vaccines developed and produced abroad and vaccines developed and produced in Turkey. 67.6% of respondents were willing to be vaccinated. The results showed that people who accepted vaccinations had higher levels of COVID-19-related anxieties, they reported more trust in vaccine companies and doctors, and scored low on trust in governmental institutions, but on the other hand, were ...
PRODUCTION OF VIRUS LIKE PARTICLES EXPRESSING ALPHA (B.1.1.7) OR DELTA PLUS (B.1.617.2.1) SPIKE VARIANTS AND DEVELOPMENT OF A PSEUDOTYPED VIRUS NEUTRALIZATION ASSAY
Güvençli, Neşe; Gürsel, Mayda; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2022-2-10)
Vaccines are one of the most important public health interventions to combat the spread of infectious diseases. All currently approved COVID-19 vaccines target Spike antigen derived from the authentic Wuhan strain. However, with the emergence of new variants effectiveness of the current vaccines declined, commensurate to their ability to generate neutralizing antibodies against some variants of concern (VOC). Since new VOCs are predicted to emerge the next 2-4 years, variant specific vaccines are urgently n...
