Flagellin as an Adjuvant: Cellular Mechanisms and Potential

Open access
Mizel, Steven B, Bates, John T·2010·The Journal of Immunology

Abstract

Flagellin is a potent activator of a broad range of cell types involved in innate and adaptive immunity. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of flagellin as an adjuvant, as well as its ability to promote cytokine production by a range of innate cell types, trigger a generalized recruitment of T and B lymphocytes to secondary lymphoid sites, and activate TLR5+CD11c+ cells and T lymphocytes in a manner that is distinct from cognate Ag recognition. The plasticity of flagellin has allowed for the generation of a range of flagellin–Ag fusion proteins that have proven to be effective vaccines in animal models. This review summarizes the state of our current understanding of the adjuvant effect of flagellin and addresses important areas of current and future research interest.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Most human data on monocyte TLR responses come from isolated monocytes treated in vitro, and some contrasting results could be due to enhanced responsiveness from cells with progressive differentiation in vitro.

    “most of these data concerning humans have been obtained in isolated monocytes treated in vitro, and some of the contrasting results observed could be due to enhanced responsiveness from cells with progressive differentiation in vitro [50].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
