HELICOBACTER VACCINE ANTIGEN RECOGNIZED BY A PROTECTIVE MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY (IgG 50)

摘要

The invention features Helicobacter polypeptides which are recognized by monoclonal antibody IgG 50, monoclonal antibodies (e.g., IgG 50) which recognize these polypeptides and methods of preventing and/or treating Helicobacter infection using these polypeptides and monoclonal antibodies. The figure is a graph showing that monoclonal antibody IgG 50 is effective at passive protection of mice against Helicobacter felis infection.
