Anti-Flagellin

Anti-Flagellin FliC is a mouse monoclonal antibody to Salmonella typhimurium flagellin. Flagellin is the major component of the bacterial flagellar filament, which confers motility on a wide range of bacterial species.

Flagellin is recognized by TLR5 [1] and induces the activation of NF-κB and the production of cytokines and nitric oxide depending on the nature of the TLR5 signaling complex [2].

This MAb was generated by immunizing by DNA vaccination Balb/c mice with the fliC gene and screened by ELISA using purified flagellin (FLA-ST). The antibody was purified by Protein G affinity chromatography.
