Abstract
Vaccines against pertussis, or whooping cough, have been commercialized and used in most countries worldwide for decades. The history of these vaccines is distinctive, marked by the transition from whole-cell vaccines to acellular vaccines in many developed countries over the last two decades. This particular history has had a significant impact on the evolution of Bordetella pertussis, the etiological agent of whooping cough. Both genetic and phenotypic changes appeared, with the emergence of novel alleles for antigens targeted by the vaccines and changes in the expression of these antigens. The main consequence of these changes is the resurgence of whooping cough in many countries and the appearance of strains capable of evading vaccine-induced immunity. The emergence of novel strains under vaccine pressure underscores the importance of considering biological evolution in the conception of new vaccines and vaccine strategies.

Abstract
Bordetella spp. are respiratory pathogens equipped with immune evasion mechanisms. We previously characterized a Bordetella bronchiseptica mutant (RB50ΔbtrS) that fails to suppress host responses, leading to rapid clearance and long-lasting immunity against reinfection. This work revealed eosinophils as an exclusive requirement for RB50ΔbtrS clearance. We also show that RB50ΔbtrS promotes eosinophil-mediated B/T cell recruitment and inducible bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (iBALT) formation, with eosinophils being present throughout iBALT for Th17 and immunoglobulin A (IgA) responses. Finally, we provide evidence that XCL1 is critical for iBALT formation but not maintenance, proposing a novel role for eosinophils as facilitators of adaptive immunity against B. bronchiseptica. RB50ΔbtrS being incapable of suppressing eosinophil effector functions illuminates active, bacterial targeting of eosinophils to achieve successful persistence and reinfection. Overall, our discoveries contribute to understanding cellular mechanisms for use in future vaccines and therapies against Bordetella spp. and extension to other mucosal pathogens.

Abstract
Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica belong to the genus Bordetella, which comprises 14 other species. B. pertussis is responsible for whooping cough in humans, a severe infection in children and less severe or chronic in adults. These infections are restricted to humans and currently increasing worldwide. B. bronchiseptica is involved in diverse respiratory infections in a wide range of mammals. For instance, the canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC), characterized by a chronic cough in dogs. At the same time, it is increasingly implicated in human infections, while remaining an important pathogen in the veterinary field. Both Bordetella can evade and modulate host immune responses to support their persistence, although it is more pronounced in B. bronchiseptica infection. The protective immune responses elicited by both pathogens are comparable, while there are important characteristics in the mechanisms that differ. However, B. pertussis pathogenesis is more difficult to decipher in animal models than those of B. bronchiseptica because of its restriction to humans. Nevertheless, the licensed vaccines for each Bordetella are different in terms of formulation, route of administration and immune responses induced, with no known cross-reaction between them. Moreover, the target of the mucosal tissues and the induction of long-lasting cellular and humoral responses are required to control and eliminate Bordetella. In addition, the interaction between both veterinary and human fields are essential for the control of this genus, by preventing the infections in animals and the subsequent zoonotic transmission to humans.

Abstract
Pertussis (whooping cough) is a respiratory disease caused primarily by Bordetella pertussis, a Gram-negative bacteria. Pertussis is a relatively contagious infectious disease in people of all ages, mainly affecting newborns and infants under 2 months of age. Pertussis is undergoing a resurgence despite decades of high rates of vaccination. To better cope with the challenge of pertussis resurgence, we evaluated its possible causes and potential countermeasures in the narrative review. Expanded vaccination coverage, optimized vaccination strategies, and the development of a new pertussis vaccine may contribute to the control of pertussis.

Abstract
Pertussis is a severe human respiratory tract infectious disease caused by Bordetella pertussis that primarily affects infants and young children. However, the acellular pertussis vaccine currently administered can induce antibody and Th2 immune responses but fails to prevent the nasal colonization and transmission of B. pertussis, causing a resurgence of pertussis, so improved pertussis vaccines are urgently needed. In this study, we created a two-component pertussis vaccine candidate containing a conjugate prepared from oligosaccharides and pertussis toxin. After demonstrating the ability of the vaccine to induce a mixed Th1/Th2/Th17 profile in a mouse model, the strong in vitro bactericidal activity and IgG response of the vaccine were further demonstrated. In addition, the vaccine candidate further induced efficient prophylactic effects against B. pertussis in a mouse aerosol infection model. In summary, the vaccine candidate in this paper induces antibodies with bactericidal activity to provide high protection, shorten the duration of bacterial existence, and further reduce disease outbreaks. Therefore, the vaccine has the potential to be the next generation of pertussis vaccines.

Abstract
Background. Layered double hydroxide (LDH) has been demonstrated as a highly efficient antigen platform to induce effective and durable immune response. However, whether LDH nanoparticles could act as an adjuvant for pertussis vaccines is still unknown. Here we evaluated the potential of Mg/Al-LDH as a nano-adjuvant to improve immune response against pertussis and compared it with commercial aluminum hydroxide (AH) adjuvant.Method. The Mg/Al-LDH nanoparticles were synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction. The morphology, structure and size of Mg/Al-LDH were characterized by transmission electron microscope, x-ray diffraction and MALVERN particle analysis. The ovalbumin and Pertussis toxin (PTd) was adsorbed to Mg/Al-LDH. The immune response of antigen-LDH complex was evaluated in mice, compared with commercial adjuvant alum. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to evaluate the inflammatory response at injection site.Results. The synthetic Mg/Al-LDH nanoparticles showed a typical hexagonal lamellar structure. The average size of synthetic nanoparticles was 102.9 nm with PDI of 0.13 and zeta potential was 44.4 mV. Mg/Al-LDH nanoparticles effectively adsorbed protein antigen and mediated antigen uptake by DC cells. Animal experiments showed that Mg/Al-LDH gave enhancement in anti-pertussis toxin (PTd) humoral immune response, which was considerable to commercial AH adjuvant. Finally, Mg/Al-LDH produced a slighter inflammatory response than AH at injection site and this injury was quickly recovered.Conclusion. Our study demonstrated the potential of Mg/Al-LDH as an effective adjuvant for pertussis vaccine, which induced comparable antibody response and had a better safety compared with commercial AH adjuvant.

Expression of Bordetella pertussis Antigens Fused to Different Vectors and Their Effectiveness as Vaccines. Vaccines (Basel) 2021; 9:vaccines9060542.

Abstract
Pertussis is an acute respiratory tract infection caused by Bordetella pertussis. Even though its current vaccine coverage is relatively broad, they still have some shortcomings such as short protection time and might be incapable of blocking the spread of the disease. In this study, we developed new pertussis vaccine candidates by separately fusing three pertussis antigens (B. pertussis fimbriae 2 “Fim2”, pertussis toxin S1 subunit “PtxS1”, and filamentous hemagglutinin “FHA1877–2250”) to each of two immune-boosting carrier proteins (B subunits of AB5 toxin family: cholera toxin B subunit “CTB” and shiga toxin B subunit “StxB”). We then immunized mice with these fusion antigens and found that they significantly increased the serum antibody titers and elicited high bactericidal activity against B. pertussis. After CTB-or StxB-fused antigen-immunized mice were challenged with a non-lethal dose of B. pertussis, the bacterial loads in different tissues of these mice were significantly reduced, and their lung damage was nearly invisible. Furthermore, we also demonstrated that these candidate vaccines could provide strong prophylactic effects against a lethal challenge with B. pertussis. Overall, our candidate vaccines conferred better immune protection to mice compared with pertussis antigen alone. This B5 subunit-based vaccine strategy provides a promising option for vaccine design.
