Engineers showed that some types of soil bacteria can influence a plant's balance of growth and defense. The bacteria produce an enzyme that can lower a plant's immune activity and allow its roots to ...

The TLR5 gene, which encodes the receptor for bacterial flagellin, contains a common stop-codon polymorphism that blocks signaling downstream of this receptor. In this paper, Hawn et al.

“Bacteria have a strong tropism to different ... which expresses cytolytic anti-cancer agent ClyA and anti-tumor immunity booster flagellin B (FLaB), activates both innate and adaptive immunity.

The researchers said that the intestinal mucous layers naturally produced antibodies directed against the bacterial flagellin, spontaneously developing immune protection against bacteria that try ...

To date, well-characterized bacterial glycoproteins include pilins, flagellin and other surface-associated proteins of both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Single proteins, isolated by ...

Namba Protonic NanoMachine Project studied the structure and function of the bacterial flagellum as a huge molecular system based on the organization and movement of the individual atoms that build it ...

Numerous bacterial adjuvants, most notably lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan, flagellin and nonmethylated DNA (CpG motif), can bind selectively to various TLRs on innate immune cells, intestinal ...
