Orderable Test Description
This antibody reacts with H. pylori on the surface and in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells of stomach biopsies. Studies have shown that H. pylori plays an important role in the etiology of chronic active gastritis and the development of peptic ulcer disease. Immunohistochemistry can provide rapid detection of this bacterium.
