Characterization of a post-translational modification of Campylobacter flagellin: identification of a sero-specific glycosyl moiety.

Abstract excerpt

The flagellins of Campylobacter spp. differ antigenically. In variants of C. coli strain VC167, two antigenic flagellin types determined by sero-specific antibodies have been described (termed T1 and T2). Post-translational modification has been suggested to be responsible for T1 and T2 epitopes, and, using mild periodate treatment and biotin hydrazide labelling, flagellin from both VC167-T1 and T2 were shown to...
