Helicobacter pylori Antibody, IgA, Serum

Print Friendly View

Method Description

Partially purified Helicobacter pylori antigens are immobilized on

the wells of a microwell plate. Diluted serum is added to the wells.

IgA antibodies, specific to Helicobacter pylori , if present, bind to

the antigen on the microwells. Excess antibodies are washed

away with buffer. Anti-human IgA enzyme conjugate is added to

the wells. The conjugate binds to the antigen-antibody complex

on the plate. The excess enzyme conjugate is washed away and

color is developed by the addition of an enzyme substrate. The

intensity of the color corresponds directly to the amount of

antibody present. (Package insert:  GAP[R]-IgM, BIOAMERICA,
