Antigenic epitopes F8 (SIKEDVQF) and UB-33 (UreB fragment with residues 321-339: CHHLDKSIKEDVQFADSRI) in H. pylori urease that induces neutralizing antibody production were prepared on the cellulose plate from N- to C-terminus using CDMT as a coupling reagent. Reaction of both epitopes with sera of patients with medically confirmed atherosclerosis was studied. Strong, selective reactions of both peptides with some patients sera were observed.
