research Intranasal sensitization model of alopecia areata using pertussis toxin as adjuvant
This study investigates the link between nasopharyngeal Bordetella pertussis colonization and alopecia areata (AA) using an intranasal sensitization model in mice. Researchers found that administering pertussis toxin (PTx) and myelin oligodendrocyte peptide (MOG35-55) led to 36.4% of mice developing patchy alopecia, characterized by a shift from anagen to telogen phase hair follicles and increased T cell infiltration. The study suggests that subclinical BP colonization could contribute to AA, highlighting PTx's role as an adjuvant in autoimmune disease models and proposing a novel animal model for studying AA.
