Abstract

This invention discloses a process for preparing an acellular Bordetella pertussis vaccine by passing culture supernatants or cellular extracts of B. pertussis through a column containing an ion exchange resin. The eluate from the column is detoxified and can then be employed by conventional means as a vaccine. The vaccine so produced has reduced toxicity due to the removal of endotoxin.
