The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from nine strains representing 18 phenotype variants of Bordetella pertussis could be grouped into one of two distinct profiles by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining. One group, representing the wild-type LPS profile of B. pertussis, consisted of two silver-staining bands: a dominant brown-amber a band and a faster-migrating, minor, black-staining b band. The second group, representing a variant LPS profile, consisted of a single black-staining band of similar mobility to the b band in the wild-type profile. By electrophoretic transfer (Western) blot analysis, mouse antiserum raised against whole cells of Tohama I (prototype wild-type LPS strain) recognized only the a band from all strains/phenotypes possessing the wild-type LPS profile. In contrast, mouse antiserum raised against whole cells of 134 (prototype variant LPS strain) recognized all b bands, regardless of strain/phenotype, and could be shown to cross-react weakly with the a band from Tohama I. These results and results from cohemagglutination and immunodiffusion analyses support the classification of B. pertussis into one of two physiologically and serologically distinct LPS phenotypes: Lps AB for the wild-type profile and Lps B for the variant profile. The relationship of LPS type and phenotypic, or "phase," variation is discussed.
