Abstract
A cloned DNA fragment of Bordetella pertussis including the gene which codes for the pilinic subunit fim3, vectors which contain it and microorganisms transformed by the vectors. The protein and peptides corresponding to at least one epitope of the gene which codes for the pilinic subunit fim3 are particularly useful for the development of acellular anti-pertussis vaccines. In addition, a strain of Bordetella modified by a recombinant replication or genome-integration vector containing the cloned DNA fragment or the gene or a fraction thereof is particularly suitable for the development of a cellular anti-pertussis vaccine.
