conclusions the r-b-flagellin carried antigenic epitopes just like the native flagellin, while the polyclonal antibody raised against it exhibited functional activity. results the polyclonal antibodies raised against this r-b-flagellin inhibited the motility of the homologous pao1 strain of p. aeruginosa, which significantly decreased the invasion of the pao1 strain into the a549 cells and also...

pseudomonas aeruginosa as an opportunistic pathogen is a significant cause of acute and chronic infections in patients with compromised defenses. this bacterium is motile via a single polar flagellum made of polymerized flagellin subunits differentiated into two major serotypes: a and b. flagellin plays an important role as a virulence factor in the adhesion, colonization and invasion of p. aer...

Abstract Background In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), CD4+ T cell-responses to unknown microbial antigens drive intestinal inflammation. Both hypo- or hyperactive anti-microbial innate immunity may underlie these pathogenic T-cell responses. Previously, IgG responses Lachnospiraceae flagellins were detected in spontaneously colitic mice wit...

Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) is the of bacterial Flagellin. Reportedly, TLR5 engagement helps to combat infections, especially at mucosal sites, by evoking responses from epithelial cells and immune cells. Here we report that expressed on a previously defined bipotent progenitor macrophages (MΦs) osteoclasts (OCs) resides in mouse bone marrow (BM) circulates low frequency blood. In vitro , Flage...

nosocomial infections of multidrug-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa (mdrpa) are a growing concern in hospitalized patients in burn centers. the aim of this study was to investigate the flagellin profiling and antibiotic susceptibility of p. aeruginosa isolated from burn wound infections. during 8 month study, 73 clinically p. aeruginosa isolates collected from patients hospitalized in burn ward...

Bacterial flagellin, the primary structural component of flagella, is a dominant target of humoral immunity upon infection by enteric pathogens and in Crohn's disease. To better understand how such responses may be regulated, we sought to define, in mice, basic mechanisms that regulate generation of flagellin-specific Igs. We observed that, in response to i.p. injection with flagellin, generati...

BACKGROUND Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important opportunistic human pathogen that causes serious infections in immunocompromised hosts. The single polar flagellum is an important factor in both virulence and colonization. OBJECTIVES As flagellin is the major component of the flagellar filament, the main aims of the present study are to identify, clone, express, and purify the recombinant typ...
