Evaluation of the Effects of Strain-Specific Antigen Variation on the Accuracy of Serologic Diagnosis of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Infection

Abstract excerpt

It has been suggested that enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kits validated in one region may yield variable diagnostic performance results in different regions, possibly due to strain-specific differences in antibody responses in different populations. We tested (13)C-urea breath test-characterized serum samples from 109 U.S. patients and 288 Japanese patients using enzyme immunoassay with different preparations of...
