Abstract

H. pylori is a major etiological agent of gastroduodenal ulcer diseases. One of the significant pathogenic factor of H. pylori is urease production and anti-urease antibodies might be responsible for inflamatory reaction proceeding atherosclerosis [1,2].

In order to study the recognitions of H.pylori UreB epitopes by sera of atherosclerosis patients we prepared 321-339 urease fragments attached to the cellulose plate with N-terminus as well as with C-terminus.

The F8 epitope: SIKEDVQF and UB-33 epitope: CHHLDKSIKEDVQFADSRI [3] were synthesized directly on the cellulose plate by using triazine based condensing reagent [4].

The peptides were treated with sera of patients with medically confirmed arteriosclerosis and then with anti-human antibodies labelled by horse-radish peroxidase HRP, followed by addition 4-chloronaphtol and hydrogen peroxide.

Peptides anchored with N-terminus to cellulose gave positive reactions with patients sera more often. Results also indicated that recognition of peptides by anti-urease antibodies strongly depended on the method of bonding of epitope with cellulose plate and the structure and the length of linker between cellulose matrix and peptides.
