Immunoblots probed with rabbit anti- H. pylori or patient sera. Western blot membranes of H. pylori ATCC strains 43504, 43579, 49503 (A), ATCC 51652, 51653, and strain SS1 (B) plate (P) and broth (B) grown forms prepared as described in Methods were reacted with sera from a rabbit immunized with H. pylori ATCC 43504. Western blot membranes of H. pylori ATCC strains 43504, 43579, 49503 (C), ATCC 51652, 51653, and strain SS1 (D) plate (P) and broth (B) grown forms prepared as described in Methods were reacted with sera from a patient infected with H. pylori. No apparent differences in the expression of immunoreative proteins as due to the observed morphologic shift were noted. Apparent molecular weights (kDa) are indicated.
