By using proteins of H. pylori as the antigen, pooled sera from gastric cancer and non-cancer patients were used as the first antibody for Western blot analysis. Antibody responses to a 26 kD secreted protein were observed in pooled cancer sera, but not in pooled sera from non-cancer patients. The protein was purified, while amino acid sequences revealed that it was a H. pylori species specific protein. The gene of this protein was cloned and a recombinant protein was expressed in E. coli. In addition, an antibody to the recombinant protein was tested in each individual patient using Western blot analysis. None of the forty non-gastric cancer patients were positive for the antibody to the recombinantly expressed 26 kD species specific protein. Meanwhile, six of the twenty four cancer patients tested positive (0/40 vs 6/24, p < 0.01). Results presented herein demonstrate that the species specific protein of H. pylori can be useful in detecting H. pylori associated with adenocarcinoma of the stomach. |
