Previous reports have suggested that Diphtheria Tetanus acellular Pertussis vaccine DTaP is e#ective for the inducement of humoral immunity, but is weak for inducement of cell-mediated immunity. In clinical use, however, DTaP has a su$cient preventive e#ect for B. pertussis infection and is also safer than whole-cell pertussis vaccine. We measured cytokines secretion with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and flow cytometry to examine the immune response in BALBc mice that were immunized with DTaP intramuscularly and cultured splenic mononuclear cells with B. pertussis-specific antigens. We demonstrated that DTaP induced Th2 cytokines, but we also detected Th cytokines in the supernatants. This study suggests that DTaP induced not only humoral immunity, but also cell-mediated immunity.
