Comparison of gastric inflammation and metaplasia induced by Helicobacter pylori or Helicobacter felis colonization in mice

This study compares gastric inflammation and metaplasia induced by Helicobacter pylori or Helicobacter felis in mice, finding that HF causes more severe inflammation and atrophy than HP.

Addition of adjuvant to DTaP modulates vaccine-induced immunological responses but is insufficient to improve protection in CD-1 mice

This study evaluates if adding adjuvants to DTaP improves protection in CD-1 mice against Bordetella pertussis, finding that while adjuvants enhance immune markers, they do not improve protection.

Long-term analysis of pertussis vaccine immunity uncovers a memory B cell response to whole cell pertussis immunization that is absent from acellular immunized mice

This study compares long-term immune responses to whole cell and acellular pertussis vaccines in mice, finding unique memory B cell responses in wP-vaccinated mice.

Re-investigating the coughing rat model of pertussis to understand Bordetella pertussis pathogenesis

This study uses a rat model to compare disease manifestations between two genetically distinct Bordetella pertussis strains, finding that D420 induces more severe coughing and immune responses than Tohama 1.

Characterizing the innate and adaptive responses of immunized mice to Bordetella pertussis infection using in vivo imaging and transcriptomic analysis

This study uses in vivo imaging and transcriptomic analysis to compare immune responses in mice vaccinated against B. pertussis, finding differential gene expression and neutrophil dynamics across vaccine types.
