Popis: Five methods which might be used for measuring the effectiveness of pertussis vaccines were compared using three vaccines. The methods did not yield the same relative results. It is highly probable that a mechanism other than humoral antibodies plays an important part in the mouse protection test since by this test the vaccines were graded differently than by a test depending on passive protection.
