Abstract

Acellular pertussis vaccines are contained pertussis toxin (PT) as a major active substrate
component, which are produced in Thailand. Then, the researchers developed a method for
determination of the anti-PT antibody titer used to control the potency of the vaccine using
mouse immunogenicity test (MIT). The MIT is a non-lethal animal model designed to evaluate
antibody responses in immunized mice to the PT antigen claimed to contribute to vaccine
efficacy by ELISA technique. The validation method showed a good specification by separation
of anti-PT antibody titer between vaccine test group and negative control group. The linearity
was found at the range of anti-PT antibody titer from 1.95 to 4000.00 mIU/mL, with the coefficient
of correlation and the coefficient of determination were greater than 0.99. The lower limit of
quantitation was 1.95 mIU/mL and the upper limit of quantitation was 4,000.00 mIU/mL. The
range ranged from 7.81 to 500.00 mIU/mL. The accuracy had the percentage relative error (%RE)
between -2.11 to 2.37%. The precision varied from 5.57 to 11.51 percentage of variance
coefficient (%CV). The method was robust to the test system and analyzers, %CV was 6.47 to
9.08. Based on the validation results, the method demonstrates that the method is reliable
and suitable. It can be used as a standard method for the detec tion of anti-PT antibody to
effectively control the quality of acellular pertussis vaccine.
