Bordetella pertussis toxin (PT) Antibody (IgG), Immunoassay

The Bordetella Pertussis Toxin (PT) Antibody (IgG), Immunoassay detects IgG antibodies against the pertussis toxin, helping to assess immunity or recent exposure to Bordetella pertussis, the bacteria responsible for whooping cough. This test is valuable for confirming vaccine-induced immunity or diagnosing pertussis in individuals with prolonged cough symptoms. It is particularly important for outbreak investigations and for protecting vulnerable populations such as infants and immunocompromised individuals.
