ABOUT
Recombinant flagellin from S. typhimurium
Bacterial flagellin, a TLR5 ligand, is a potent T-cell antigen and has potential as a vaccine adjuvant. Unlike other TLR agonists, flagellin tends to produce mixed Th1 and Th2 responses rather than strongly Th1 responses.
Flagellin FliC VacciGrade™ is a high-quality pre-clinical grade.
All products are for internal research use only, and not for human or veterinary use.
VacciGrade™
VacciGrade™ is a high-quality pre-clinical grade, suitable for in vivo studies. VacciGrade™ products are filter-sterilized (0.2 µm) and filled under strict aseptic conditions in a clean room. The absence of bacterial contamination is assessed by a sterility test using a pharmacopeia-derived assay.

Details
Flagellin FliC is a recombinant flagellin protein encoded by the fliC gene from Salmonella typhimurium. Bacterial flagellin, a TLR5 ligand, is a potent T-cell antigen and has potential as a vaccine adjuvant.
Unlike other TLR agonists, flagellin tends to produce mixed Th1 and Th2 responses rather than strong Th1 responses [1].
It has been demonstrated that flagellin can act as a potent adjuvant in flu vaccines [2, 3].
Furthermore, flagellin can also signal through the NLRC4 inflammasome [4], although it is not known whether this pathway contributes to the adjuvant activity of flagellin.
