An enzymatic ruler modulates Lewis antigen glycosylation of Helicobacter pylori LPS during persistent infection.
Helicobacter pylori persistently colonizes about half the human population and contributes to the development of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. This organism has evolved means to structurally alter its surface characteristics to evade innate and adaptive immune responses. H. pylori produces LPS O-antigen units that can be posttranslationally fucosylated to generate Lewis antigens, str...
متن کاملDetermination of Helicobacter pylori Antigen in Stool Samples and Comparison with Rapid Urease Test in Patients Suspected of Helicobacter Infection
Background and Aims: Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) is the microorganism that infects nearly half of word's population. There are several invasive and non-invasive methods for diagnosis of infection. The main objective of this study was to evaluate antigen of H. Pylori in feces with H. pylori stool antigen (HpSA) test and comparison with rapid urease test (RUT) in the patients suspected to be ...
متن کاملDiagnostic Accuracy of Polyclonal Stool Antigen for Detection of Helicobacter Pylori Infection in Children
Introduction: Helicobacter pylori infection has various clinical features. One of the most common presentations of this infection is upper abdominal pain. Complications such as gastritis, gastric ulcer, gastric carcinoma and MALT lymphoma mandate early diagnosis of H.P infection by a low cost and non invasive manner. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic role of H.P stool antige...
متن کاملAccuracy of Helicobacter pylori stool antigen for the detection of Helicobacter pylori infection in dyspeptic patients.
AIM The premier platinum Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) stool antigen (HpSA) test is an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) that detects an H pylori antigen present in human stools. However, at present there is no uniformity about the cut off level required to consider the test as positive or negative. So we need the cut off level for our local population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the HpSA fo...
متن کاملPersistent Helicobacter pylori infection and genetic polymorphisms of the host.
Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection elevates the risk of gastric diseases including peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. The infection induces inflammatory cytokines, which could work both for and against lifetime infection in the human stomach. Genetic polymorphisms of the cytokines and other related ligands, receptors, and enzymes may influence persistent HP infection. This paper summarizes studie...
