Four proteins are obtained from H. pylori bacteria each of which has regions which act as antigens specific to H. pylori. The proteins are isolated, purified and designated HP1, HP2, HP3, and HP4 with respective molecular weights of 32 kd, 30 kd, 23 kd and 15 kd. An assay, a method and a kit is developed utilizing a combination of at least three of these protein to detect the presence of antibodies to H. pylori in human sera. The method of detection is quantified and suitable for monitoring the eradication of H. pylori bacteria by drug therapy of human patients infected by these bacteria.
