💨 Abstract

New research from The University of Texas at Austin has identified two powerful antibodies, hu11E6 and hu1B7, that neutralize pertussis toxin, a key weakness in whooping cough (pertussis) infections. These antibodies could aid in improving whooping cough vaccines, which have recently seen a comeback due to declining vaccine coverage after the Covid-19 pandemic.
