Pertussis toxin (CAS 70323-44-3) is an AB5-type protein exotoxin produced by Bordetella pertussis the bacterium responsible for whooping cough Mechanistically pertussis toxin modulates host immune responses primarily via a cAMP-dependent pathway as demonstrated by its actions on human monocyte-derived dendritic cells influencing their maturation and cytokine production In animal models treatment reduces norepinephrine-induced contractions in rat mesenteric resistance arteries without notable effects on mouse tracheal contractility Pertussis toxin serves as a research tool in immunological studies and is central to acellular pertussis vaccines designed to limit disease transmission and severity across susceptible populations
