HELICOBACTER PYLORI ANTIGEN HAVING AN APPARENT MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF 16+/-2 KDA, A SPECIFIC ANTIBODY, AND ITS USE FOR THE DETECTION OF SAID ANTIGEN

摘要

Monoclonal antibody Helix-1, produced by hybridoma 2H11, and immunoreactive with an antigen of Helicobacter pylori with an apparent molecular weight of 16 +/- 2kD. An antigenic preparation of a molecule with a molecular weight of 16 +/- 2kD, obtained from Helicobacter pylori. Methods for the qualitative and quantitative detection of said antigen, e.g. by using said antibody.
