ABSTRACT Salmonella typhimurium expresses two antigenically distinct flagellins, each containing a different H antigen (i and 1,2), the combination of which is highly specific for this serotype. In this study, overlapping recombinant flagellin fragments were constructed from the fliC(H:i) and fljB (H:1,2) flagellin genes, and the expression products were tested for binding to H antigen-specific monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. A minimal area, 86 amino acids for H:i and 102 amino acids for H:1,2, located in the central variable domain of each flagellin was required for the binding of serotype-specific antibodies, providing further evidence for the presence of a discontinuous H epitope. Two peptides comprising these areas were shown to be highly suitable for application as antigens in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay detecting S. typhimurium-specific antibody.
