摘要
The present invention provides an isolated nucleic acid encoding an approximately 120-128 kilodalton antigen of Helicobacter pylori, or an antigenic fragment thereof, wherein the antigen is associated with peptic ulceration. The present invention also provides methods of detecting the presence of a Helicobacter pylori strain possessing the 120-128 kilodalton antigen in a subject, comprising the steps of contacting an antibody-containing sample from the subject with a detectable amount of the tagA antigen or antigenic polypeptide of the present invention and detecting the binding of the antigen or fragment and the antibody. The detection of a strain expressing the TagA antigen is an indication of predisposition to peptic ulceration and gastric carcinoma. A mutant H. pylori not expressing a functional TagA antigen is also provided.
