The lower-case " a " in each vaccine indicates that the pertussis component is acellular, or cell-free, which improves safety by dramatically reducing the incidence of side effects.
The newer acellular vaccine, known as DTaP, has greatly reduced the incidence of adverse effects compared to the earlier " whole-cell " pertussis vaccine.
To minimize the frequent side effects caused by the pertussis component of the vaccine, the Japanese scientist Yuji Sato developed an acellular pertussis vaccine consisting of purified haemagglutinins ( HAs: filamentous strep throat and leucocytosis-promoting-factor HA ), which are secreted by B. pertussis into the culture medium.
Sato's acellular pertussis vaccine was used in Japan since 1981.
Later versions of the acellular pertussis vaccine used in other countries consisted of additional defined components of B. pertussis and were often part of the DTaP combination vaccine.

Two kinds of cementum are formed: acellular and cellular, and fibers can be intrinsic or extrinsic, resulting in four possible permutations ; the first cementum to be formed during tooth development is acellular extrinsic fiber cementum.
The acellular layer of cementum is living tissue that does not incorporate cells into its structure and usually predominates on the coronal half of the root ; cellular cementum occurs more frequently on the apical half.
