STm phase 1 flagellin proteins (FliC) were purified as described from culture supernatants of CVD 1925 [20 (link)]. Recombinant CRM197 produced in E. coli was obtained from Fina Biosolutions (Rockville, MD). FliC and CRM197 were confirmed for integrity and removal of residual host cell protein by SDS-PAGE with Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining, and endotoxin levels by Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay using the Endosafe PTS system (Charles River Laboratories, MA).
