BACKGROUND: Several reports have shown the prevalence of anti-CagA antibodies to be associated with the development of peptic ulcer diseases, while others have indicated that there is no such association.
AIM: To examine the prevalence of antibodies to CagA and other Helicobacter pylori antigens in symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects in Turkey. subjects and
METHODS: Sixty-six symptomatic subjects, 16 to 74 years of age, were examined for H pylori by biopsy-based tests and ELISA. One hundred nineteen asymptomatic subjects, 20 to 65 years of age, were also tested serologically for the presence of H pylori. Samples from both groups that were found to be positive for H pylori by ELISA were then tested by immunoblotting.
RESULTS: Fifty-four (82%) symptomatic subjects and 76 (64%) asymptomatic subjects were found to be H pylori-positive by ELISA. Samples from 30 symptomatic subjects who were found to be H pylori-positive by ELISA were analyzed by immunoblotting. Antibodies to CagA (116 kDa) antigen were detected in immunoblots of 11 of 14 (79%) with chronic gastritis, 12 of 13 (92%) with duodenal ulcer and three of three (100%) with gastric cancer. Antigens of the following molecular weights were also detected in these 30 subjects: 89 kDa (VacA) in 21 (70%), 37 kDa in 21 (70%), 35 kDa in 19 (63%), 30 kDa in 27 (90%) and 19.5 kDa in 19 (63%). Immunoblots of 40 ELISA-positive asymptomatic subjects showed that 33 (83%) had antibodies to CagA antigen, 26 (65%) to VacA antigen, 30 (75%) to a 37 kDa antigen, 30 (75%) to a 35 kDa antigen, 39 (98%) to a 30 kDa antigen and 36 (90%) to a 19.5 kDa antigen.
CONCLUSIONS: Antibodies to CagA antigen were prevalent in both groups, regardless of the presence of gastroduodenal disease.
