Comparison of the Serological Reactivity of Lipopolysaccharides from Japanese and Western Strains of Helicobacter pylori to Sera from H. pylori-Positive Humans

Figure 2

Immunoreactivities of two types of H. pylori-positive Japanese sera to H. pylori LPS from Japanese and Western strains. The LPS used are shown in Figure 1. Type A sera only reacted with LPS containing the highly antigenic epitope and Type B sera only reacted with LPS containing the weakly antigenic epitope. 1, NCTC11637-LPS; 2, Sydney strain-LPS; 3, 26695-LPS; 4, O:2-LPS, 5, GU2-LPS; 6, DU1-LPS; 7, CA2-LPS; 8, CA4-LPS; and 9, CA5-LPS.
