PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT CELL- ASSOCIATED PROTEIN OF CAMPYLOBACTER PYLORI AND USE FOR SEROLOGICAL DETECTION OF CAMPYLOBACTER PYLORI INFECTION

摘要

An antigen for the detection of Compylobacter pylori infections and an assay for the serological detection of Campylobacter pylori. The antigen includes high molecular weight cell-associated proteins purified from Campylobacter pylori. The antigen can be used in a variety of assays including radioimmunoassay, ELISA, latex agglutination, complement fixation, and indirect hemagglutination. Furthermore, the antigens can be combined with a solid support in kit form.
