Flagellin (high purity)
Method: Mice WT are injected i.v. with indicated doses of Flagellin (Prod. No. AG-40B-0025). After 2 hours, levels of CCL20 and IL-6 in the serum were measured by ELISA. As a control, mice TLR5 -/- have been injected i.v. with 10µg of Flagellin (Prod. No. AG-40B-0025), but no expression of CCL20 and IL-6 could be observed (not shown).

Flagellin is the subunit protein which polymerizes to form the filaments of bacterial flagella. It activates the innate immune system through the receptor Toll-like Receptor 5 (TLR5) and the intracellular protein NLRC4 (NLR family CARD domain-containing protein 4).
