Research progress of bacterial flagellin as a vaccine adjuvant / 中国生物制品学杂志

ABSTRACT

@#Vaccines play an important role in the prevention and control of infectious diseases. Bacterial flagellin can activate Toll like receptor 5(TLR5) and NOD like receptor C4(NLRC4) in host cells,and has immune adjuvant effect. As a new immune adjuvant,flagellin can not only share with antigen protein,but also fuse with antigen protein,which can significantly improve the immune effect. At the same time,it has achieved good application effect in mucosal immunity and antitumor immunity,becoming a hot spot in the research and development of vaccine adjuvants. This review mainly discussed the research progress on application of bacterial flagellin as vaccine adjuvant,so as to provide new ideas for the development of flagellin adjuvant vaccine.
