Monoclonal antibodies were produced against an acid glycine extract of Helicobacter pylori ATCC 43504T. One of these appeared to be specific for H. pylori; it recognized all H. pylori isolates by an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IIF) but it did not cross-react with the other strains tested, including different species of the genera Helicobacter, Campylobacter, and Wolinella. Different strains of members of the families Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonadaceae or other gram-negative bacteria tested also gave negative reactions. Indirect immunofluorescence assay of antral biopsy specimens identified 54 of 56 infected patients (96.4%), and it may be able to detect nonviable organisms after antibiotic therapy.
