Infection by Helicobacter pylori, a noninvasive bacterium, induces chronic leukocyte infiltration in the stomach by still largely unknown molecular mechanisms. We investigated the possibility that a membrane protein of H. pylori induces an inflammatory reaction in the subepithelial tissue of the stomach. By generating an expression library of H. pylori chromosomal DNA and screening with rabbit antiserum raised to a membrane fraction of H. pylori and sera of infected patients, we cloned a 16.0-kD ...[more]
