Antigenic Heterology Between Flagellin and Flagella of Bacillus subtilis1

Albert T Ichiki a, Rafael J Martinez a
PMCID: PMC284842  PMID: 4977479

Abstract

The antigenic properties of Bacillus subtilis flagella and periodate-treated flagellin were compared by using immobilization-inhibition and diethylaminoethyl cellulose binding assay. The results suggest that there are both unique and cross-reactive antibodies elicited by B. subtilis flagella and flagellin.
