Abstract excerpt
Apical colonization of polarized epithelia by Salmonella typhimurium results in translocation of flagellin to the basolateral membrane domain, thus enabling activation of toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5)-mediated pro-inflammatory gene expression. Such flagellin transcytosis occurred without a change in epithelial permeability to 40 kDa FITC dextran, did not require bacterial motility and was independent of...
