ANTIGENIC COMPOSITION AND METHOD OF DETECTION FOR HELICOBACTER PYLORI

摘要

The present invention pertains to the characterization and isolation of newly discovered polypeptide antigens of H. pylori. Disclosed herein are cluster families of DNA replicas of portions of the genome of H. pylori encoding antigens which are highly immunogenic. Also disclosed are new antigenic proteins recovered from H. pylori. The invention also provides methods employing the above-described antigens.
