H. Pylori is associated with a variety of gastrointestinal diseases including gastritis, duodenal and gastric ulcer, non-ulcer dyspepsia, gastric adenocarcinoma and lymphoma. H. pylori plays the exact role in gastrointestinal disease still needs to be precisely defined and is the subject of ongoing research. However, the prevalence rates for H. pylori infection as demonstrated by histological and bacteriological methods can approach 90% in patients who present clinical symptoms of the gastrointestinal diseases listed above. No evidence shows that H. pylori can invade the blood stream since no isolates yet have been detected using commercial blood culture methods. Human populations are infected by H. pylori throughout the world. In developed countries, about 50% of the population may have H. pylori infection by the age of 60 years, while only 10-20% of adults in the third decade of life have it. The H. pylori Ab Rapid Test detects IgG antibodies specific to H. pylori infection in patient’s blood or serum. It is a non-invasive method and does not use radioactive isotopes; the assay procedures are easy and do not require professional training; it provides a rapid result. It is a useful on-site aid in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection.
This assay is a double antigen chromatographic lateral flow immunoassay. The test strip in the device includes: 1) a burgundy-colored conjugate pad containing colloidal gold coupled with H. pylori antigens, and 2) nitrocellulose membrane containing a test line (T line) and a control line (C line). The T line is coated with H. pylori antigens, and the C line is coated with goat anti-H. pylori antibody. The antigens used in this device are from H. pylori cell lysate. When IgG antibodies specific to H. pylori are present in the specimen, the T line will become a burgundy-colored band. If antibodies to H. pylori are not present or are present below the detectable level, no T line will develop. The C line should always appear as a burgundy-colored band regardless of the presence of antibodies to H. pylori. The C line serves as an internal qualitative control of the test system to indicate that an adequate volume of specimen has been applied and the flow occurred.
