Abstract
Cells of Bordetella pertussis grown in a bioreactor under stirring con ditions were studied to investigate the effect of shear stress on cell ular-bound filamentous haemagglutinin (FHA). FHA attached to the bacte rial surface, unlike extracellular FHA, was not affected at the shear levels tested. Moreover, no other cellular immunogen involved in the w hole-cell protective activity seemed to be affected by hydromechanical forces.
