Rabbits were immunised with stage 1 and stage 2 soluble haemagglutinins (sHA) of Helicobacter pylori strain NCTC 11637 and with rabbit erythrocytes coated with stage 1 sHA. After adsorption of stage 1 sHA on erythrocytes, SDS-PAGE analysis showed that 4 major protein bands were removed from the preparation. The anti-sHA coated erythrocyte serum had the highest HA inhibition titre of 16. Crossed immunoelectrophoresis of the stage 1 sHA, against stage 1 and 2 antisera showed multiple precipitin arcs; however, the anti-sHA coated erythrocyte serum produced only two arcs. One arc produced by the anti-stage 2 serum was absent with the anti-stage 1 serum. This arc could have been produced against a 20 kDa polypeptide which was absent in the stage 1 sHA. The other arc was stronger when compared with that produced by anti-stage 1 serum. These two arcs corresponded to the two arcs produced by the anti-sHA coated erythrocyte serum, which had the highest inhibition titre. The two arcs were markedly reduced in crossed immunoelectrophoresis with an adsorbed stage 1 sHA preparation, which indicates that these arcs were produced against the sHAs.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B. Gamma Globulin, 7S,IgG,IgG Antibody,Allerglobuline,IgG(T),IgG1,IgG2,IgG2A,IgG2B,IgG3,IgG4,Immunoglobulin GT,Polyglobin,7S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgG,GT, Immunoglobulin
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50). Neutralization Test,Test, Neutralization,Tests, Neutralization
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D003429 Cross Reactions Serological reactions in which an antiserum against one antigen reacts with a non-identical but closely related antigen. Cross Reaction,Reaction, Cross,Reactions, Cross
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
