Abstract

Purified nucleic acids comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an immunogenic polypeptide of adenyl cyclase-haemolysin (AC-Hly), which induces formation of protective antibodies against an infection by a bacteria selected from the group consisting of B. pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. bronchiseptica when the nucleic acid or polypeptide is administered to a human or animal host. The nucleic acids are useful, for example, to induce a protective immune response in a host against infection by a bacteria selected from the group consisting of B. pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. bronchiseptica.
