- General introduction.
- Emerging Bordetella pertussis strains induce enhanced signaling of human Pattern Recognition Receptors TLR2, NOD2 and secretion of IL-10 by Dendritic Cells.
- Bordetella pertussis pertactin knock-out strains reveal immunomodulatory properties of this virulence factor.
- Acquisition of C1 inhibitor by Bordetella pertussis virulence associated gene 8 of Bordetella pertussis results in C2 and C4 consumption away from the bacterial surface.
- Virulence associated gene 8 enhances contact system activity by inhibiting the regulatory function of C1 inhibitor.
