• Bacterial flagellin : a novel adjuvant for vaccine strategies 

      Hynes, Natasha (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2011-10-18)
      Flagellin is the principal structural protein in the locomotive organ flagellum present on flagellated bacteria, and is known to be an important evolutionarily conserved PAMP.

In mammals, much focus has been placed on this protein in vaccine studies for its possible function as an ...
