H. pylori Antigen (IDK® Helicobacter pylori Antigen (1h; monoclonal) ELISA
Kits
Description
Helicobacter pylori is regarded as a causative factor for chronic B-gastritis, drug-unrelated
ulcus duodeni, and as an etiologic stimulus of gastric MALT-lymphoma. Furthermore,
it is suspected of being involved in the pathogenesis of stomach carcinoma.
The epidemiology of infection by Helicobacter pylori has been characterized in western
industrial nations by a linear increase with age. In developing countries a large
number of children and juveniles is affected.
The currently used methods for the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection are very
sensitive and highly specific, but all include either invasive sampling or require special
technical devices.
We have developed an ELISA for the detection of Helicobacter pylori infection from
faecal samples. This cost-efficient methodology provides a reliable result without the
loss of sensitivity or specificity and does not require invasive sampling
