Helicobacter pylori Adhesin Binding Fucosylated Histo-Blood Group Antigens Revealed by Retagging
Abstract
The bacterium Helicobacter pylori is the causative agent for peptic ulcer disease. Bacterial adherence to the human gastric epithelial lining is mediated by the fucosylated Lewis b (Le b ) histo-blood group antigen. The Le b -binding adhesin, BabA, was purified by receptor activity–directed affinity tagging. The bacterial Le b -binding phenotype was associated with the presence of the cag pathogenicity island among clinical isolates of H. pylori . A vaccine strategy based on the BabA adhesin might serve as a means to target the virulent type I strains of H. pylori.

“Among the numerous examples that can be cited for bacterial adhesins (223, 712), the example of Helicobacter recognition of gastric sialoglycans is particularly interesting, given its role in pathogenesis of gastric ulcers and cancers (713) (714) (715) (716) (717) (718) (719) .”

“BabA recognizes the Lewis b (Le b ) blood group antigen present on red blood cells and in the gastric mucosa (Ilver et al., 1998); inflammation of the gastric tissue leads to increased expression of other Lewis antigens normally expressed at low levels such as sialylated sLe x and sLe a , and H.…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
