Highly Sensitive Urine‐Based Enzyme‐Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Detection of Antibody to Helicobacter pylori

Abstract: These findings suggest that the differences observed among ELISA test results may be due principally to differences between the profiles of antigen coated on plates for the assays, rather than to differences between antibodies in serum and urine. The urine-based ELISA (URINELISA H. pylori) developed in this study is very accurate and would be useful for screening H. pylori infection as an alternative to serum ELISAs.

“…The advantages of urine-based enzyme immunoassays are that they are noninvasive, the sample collection is very simple (3,6,7), it does not require centrifugation, and the cost of using urine as a sample is much lower than that of serum (4,7,20). Antibody concentration in urine samples was approximately 1/10000 of antibody concentration in serum (12,21). Although anti-H. pylori IgG is at a low concentration in urine samples, it has been found to correlate with anti-H. pylori IgG in serum samples (5,20).…”

“…The performance of an antibody detection-based kit is affected by the ethnic factor, and therefore, it is different in various patient populations (26). URINELISA assay plates and RAPIRUN membranes contain antigens from H. pylori strain (OHPC-040), which have important genes (vacA, ureB and cagA) from Japanese patients (3,9,11,18,21,22). However, the urine antibody test accuracy did not differ between Asian and Western ethnic groups (26).…”

“…21,22 The high sensitivity of the test may be explained in part by the profiles of antigens extracted from the whole cell of H pylori. 20 Moreover, the addition of extracted proteins of E coli to the assay system reduces cross reactivity, probably contributing to the high degree of specificity. In this study, the specificity of the urine-based ELISA was consistently high, ranging from 93% to 99%.…”

“…H pylori-specific IgG antibodies in urine are stable for at least 60 days at 4°C. 20 Therefore, the method should be suitable for large-scale epidemiologic studies concerning the organism. In the near future, the urine-based ELISA method might be available for noninvasive diagnosis of various infectious diseases.…”
