Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE:To provide the titled vaccine having high activity and stability, by using a specific B-oligomer as an active component. CONSTITUTION:A pertussis vaccine is prepared by using the B-oligomer (molecular weight, 75,000+ or -5,000 by SDS-gel electrophoresis; protein content, >=98wt% by Lowry process; amino acid composition and composition ratios (muM/100muM) of the protein component, as shown in the table I ; basic protein) as an active component. The B-oligomer can be prepared by (1) culturing microorganisms belonging to Bordetella genus (e.g. Bordetella pertussis phase I ), (2) treating the supernatant liquid of the cultured liquid with hydroxyapatite to obtain crude fraction containing insulin-secretion promoting factor, (3) adding urea to the crude fraction to an ultimate urea concentration of 3-6M, (4) incubating the mixture, (5) treating with haptoglobin sepharose, and (6) purifying the product.
