==Structural informations allow to produce efficient vaccine==
Crystal structure provided insight into the pathogenic mechanisms of PTX. Informations about the tertiary structure of the active site is a good basis for elimination of the catalytic activity in recombinant molecules for vaccine use.
For example, one highly detoxified PTX analog contains two alterations in the S1 subunit (Arg9 to Lys; Glu129 to Gly), each of which is able to totally abolish the enzymativ activity of the toxin. This molecule already belongs to the new-generation of pertussis vaccines <ref name="Karzon90">PMID:2190139</ref>.
