Severe local swelling has been regarded as a serious safety problem for the booster immunisations of diphtheria tetanus acellular pertussis combined (DTaP) vaccine and DT combined toxoids (DT-td). We attempted to search for the factor of DTaP vaccines possibly contributing to the enhanced local reaction by using the mouse hind paw swelling reaction. Mice were immunised intramuscularly with DTaP vaccine twice at 1-month interval and were challenged their hind paw with one of the antigens of DTaP vaccine 2 weeks later. D-td was shown to elicit the strongest swelling among the vaccine antigens. No causal relationship was found between the swelling and the level of immunoglobulin G (IgG) or IgE in mice. Residual pertussis toxin (PT) activity of DTaP vaccines for immunisation was shown to play a role in the enhanced sensitisation of mice to the D-td-related hind paw swelling.
