Core Tip

Core tip: We developed a novel East Asian-type CagA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine whether this method could detect CagA seropositivity with greater sensitivity in East Asian countries than the conventional anti-CagA antibody ELISA, which utilizes Western-type CagA as the antigen. Our findings revealed that conventional CagA ELISA underestimated CagA seropositivity in East Asian countries and the novel CagA ELISA could detect anti-CagA antibodies with higher sensitivity. In addition, the anti-CagA antibody titer tended to correlate with chronic inflammation in the stomach. Therefore, the titer of East Asian CagA ELISA may be a useful marker for predicting chronic inflammation in the gastric mucosa.
