Abstract

Serology has been used worldwide to detect Helicobacter pylori infection. Using an immunoblot assay with an antigen from strain ATCC 43579, we sought to determine the antibodies which were good markers of colonization and the antibody patterns associated with ulcers or atrophy. Out of 98 dyspeptic patients, 41 were colonized by H. pylori, based on a positive culture or on positive results of both a urease test and direct examination. These 41 patients were seropositive by an enzyme immunoassay, and 12 of them had ulcers and 29 had evidence of atrophy. Fifty-seven of the 98 patients were noncolonized. Twenty-five of the 57 had evidence of gastric atrophy, and 10 were seropositive; 5 of these 10 had ulcers. By Western blot analysis, 12 antibodies were significantly more frequent in sera from colonized patients, and they produced immunoreactive bands at 125, 87, 74, 66, 54, 48, 46, 42, 35, 30, 16 and 14 kDa. The presence of at least one band at 54, 35, or 42 kDa was the best marker of infection (sensitivity, 95%; specificity, 82%). In the group of colonized patients, none of the antibody patterns were correlated to gastric atrophy. Conversely, the presence of a band at 125, 87, or 35 kDa was statistically associated with the prese...Continue Reading
