TLDR
The understanding of bacterial flagellin and host immune system interactions and the role flageLLin as an adjuvant, anti-tumor and radioprotective agent is summarized and important areas of future research interests are addressed.Abstract:
Flagellin is a subunit protein of the flagellum, a whip-like appendage that enables bacterial motility. Traditionally, flagellin was viewed as a virulence factor that contributes to the adhesion and invasion of host cells, but now it has emerged as a potent immune activator, shaping both the innate and adaptive arms of immunity during microbial infections. In this review, we summarize our understanding of bacterial flagellin and host immune system interactions and the role flagellin as an adjuvant, anti-tumor and radioprotective agent, and we address important areas of future research interests.read more

TL;DR: In this article, a densely glycosylated spike (S) protein, which engages angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to mediate host cell entry, was shown to exploit additional receptors for infection.

Bacterial Protein Toll-Like-Receptor Agonists: A Novel Perspective on Vaccine Adjuvants.
TL;DR: Protein adjuvants can be genetically fused to protein antigens which ensure the co-delivery of adjuvant-antigen not only into the same cell but also in the same endocytic cargo, leading to more effective activation of innate and adaptive immune response.

Application of built-in adjuvants for epitope-based vaccines
TL;DR: The current and prospective applications of these built-in adjuvants (i.e., biological carriers) are discussed to provide some references for the future design of epitope-based vaccines.

Innovative Mucosal Vaccine Formulations Against Influenza A Virus Infections.
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of human mucosal anti-influenza vaccines consists of live attenuated strains administered intranasally, which elicit higher local humoral and cellular immune responses than conventional parenteral vaccines.

TL;DR: An Arabidopsis thaliana leaf cell system based on the induction of early-defence gene transcription by flagellin, a highly conserved component of bacterial flagella that functions as a PAMP in plants and mammals is developed, suggesting that signalling events initiated by diverse pathogens converge into a conserved MAPK cascade.
