CF – Chimeric fusion protein, which retains the central, most antigenic segment of H. pylori (hypervariable region) flagellin FlaA, while replacing the N- and C-terminal segment by the FliC flagellin from E. coli, which is responsible for the activation of TLR5 (176 AA from the N-terminal and 99 AA from the C-terminal). Thus, combining the right parts of flagellin of ''E. coli'' with that of ''H. pylori'' enables activation of innate immunity - a characteristic that flagellin of ''H. pylori'' alone does not posess - while presenting the antigen of ''H. pylori''  for antibody production..
