Synthetic peptides mimicking antigenic epitope of Helicobacter pylori urease.
Short peptides resembling the Helicobacter pylori urease antigen (UreB F8 Ser-Ile-Lys-Glu-Asp-Val-Gln-Phe) with deleted aspartic acid and glutamic acid residues, anchored through a triazine linker via the N-terminal moiety to cellulose plate were prepared. The peptides were used for binding of antibodies from sera of patients with medically confirmed atherosclerosis. Recognition of the peptides...
متن کاملIdentification of an antigenic epitope in Helicobacter pylori urease that induces neutralizing antibody production.
We previously reported a mouse monoclonal antibody (MAb), termed L2, specific for Helicobacter pylori urease strongly inhibited its enzymatic activity. Here, to gain insight into how this antibody affects urease activity, the epitope that was recognized by the antibody was determined. By screening a panel of overlapping synthetic peptides covering the entire sequence of the two subunits (UreA a...
متن کاملAntigenic and immunogenic evaluation of Helicobacter pylori FlaA epitopes
Objective(s): Helicobacter pyloriare among most common human pathogens affecting at least half of the world’s population. Mobility is one of the important primary factors in bacterial colonization and invasion. The purpose of this research is cloning, expression, and purification of FlaA protein specific epitopes in order to evaluate their antigenicity and immunogenicity. Materials and Methods:...
متن کاملExpression and Antigenic Evaluation of VacA Antigenic Fragment of Helicobacter Pylori
Objective(s): Helicobacter pylori, a human specific gastric pathogen is a causative agent of chronic active gastritis. The vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA) is an effective virulence factor involved in gastric injury. The aim of this study was to construct a recombinant protein containing antigenic region of VacA gene and determine its antigenicity. Materials and Methods: The antigenic region of V...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Study of Helicobacter pylori Urease
Helicobacter pylori have been implicated in an array of gastrointestinal disorders including, but not limited to, gastric and duodenal ulcers and adenocarcinoma. This bacterium utilizes an enzyme, urease, to produce copious amounts of ammonia through urea hydrolysis in order to survive the harsh acidic conditions of the stomach. Molecular dynamics (MD) studies on the H. pylori urease enzyme hav...
