Background:  

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a spiral rod shaped gram-negative bacterium, is frequently found in the stomach.  In infected populations, 10-20% may develop gastritis and gastric ulcer and 1-2% may develop cancer.  The genome of H. pylori isolates from carriers with symptoms contains a 40kb pathogenicity island encoding H. pylori cytotoxin, cytotoxin associated gene A protein (CagA) and other virulence associated factors.  CagA is used as a biomarker for virulent H. pylori strains.

Application: 

ELISA:  HRP conjugated anti-CagA clone 5C6 can detect recombinant CagA antigen in combination with anti-CagA clone 10E9, or clone 5H10 coated ELISA plates.  In addition, HRP conjugated 5C6 selectively detected cell lysate of a CagA containing H. pylori strain by using mAb clone 5H10 coated plate.
