Serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against the lipooligosaccharide (LOS) of Bordetella pertussis and the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Bordetella parapertussis were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in paired sera from 40 children with pertussis and 14 with parapertussis. Wide differences in the individual responses were noted. Both anti-LOS and -LPS IgG levels increased significantly in the children with pertussis, as did anti-LPS but not anti-LOS in those with parapertussis.
