Dear Colleague

I am not aware of a source of monoclonals against Salmonella flagellar 
antigens. However, there is a really _huge_ selection of suppliers of 
specific anti-Salmonella-flagellin rabbit antisera (sometimes absorbed 
for better specificity - according to methods to produce what was once 
called 'the poor man's monoclonals'). Depending on your assay system this 
may prove entirely sufficient.
