Application Notes
Peptide sequence derived from the flagellin N-terminus of P. aeruginosa that is known to elicit specific innate immune responses in plants as well as animals. It is considered a PAMP (pathogen associated molecular pattern) by its conserved 22-amino acid sequence. In A. thaliana it leads to activation of MAP (mitogen activated protein) kinases as well as activation of PR (pathogenesis-related) genes.


Dissolve in sterile, deionized water. Store at -20°C or below. Aliquot into multiple tubes to avoid multiple freezethaw events. Note peptides and proteins are all susceptible to binding on the surfaces of plastic and glass tubes and bottles and significant losses can be realized during dilutions near or below 10 g/mL. This is a well-known phenomenon for all peptides and proteins and has been seen specifically in the case of flg22 (Felix et al. 1999). To overcome this we would recommend dilutions below 1.0 mg/mL be performed with an aqueous solution of 0.05M NaCl (S624) and 0.1 mg/mL hydrolyzed casein (C184). Bovine serum albumin (BSA) has often been used in the same capacity as hydrolyzed casein, however we recommend hydrolyzed casein due to its widespread use in plant tissue culture.
