Identification of a Sequence in Human Toll-like Receptor 5 Required for the Binding of Gram-negative Flagellin
1 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
Flagellins from Gram-negative bacteria activate inflammatory cells by a toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5)-dependent signaling pathway. We have examined the interaction between flagellin and TLR5 using an in vitro binding assay. Purified recombinant His-tagged flagellin from Salmonella enteritidis bound to TLR5 in detergent lysates from COS-1 cells transiently transfected with a human TLR5 expression plasmid. Flagellins...
