Western blot analysis of 10 μL of bacterial suspension (1.8 × 1010 CFU/mL) loaded to a gel and subjected to electrophoresis. The proteins were transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane, which was incubated in mouse or human serum as described in Materials and Methods. Serum samples used were convalescent-phase serum of the Bordetella petrii–infected patient (A), a pool of serum specimens from B. pertussis–infected patients (B), and a pool of serum specimens from B. bronchiseptica–infected patie
