flg22, Flagellin Fragment

flg22 is a conserved 22-residue bacterial flagellin epitope recognized by the plant FLS2 pattern-recognition receptor. It is a standard elicitor for studying innate immune signaling, MAP kinase activation and pattern-triggered immunity.

• immunology and infectious-disease research
• T-cell or innate-immune assays
• host-pathogen interaction studies
• antimicrobial or antigen-presentation research

Exact sequence, HLA restriction, disulfide connectivity, spacer chemistry and fluorescent labeling define the reagent. Use sequence- and modification-matched controls in quantitative assays.
