Abstract

A procedure to purify and crystallize fimbrial hemagglutinin from Bordetella pertussis is described. Redissolved crystals had the same specific activity as the original, purified solution of fimbrial hemagglutinin. About 97% of the weight of washed crystals was accounted for by amino acids.
