Efforts are underway for the development of an effective vaccine against Helicobacter pylori infection. We prepared recombinant full length (568 aa) Helicobacter pylori urease B protein (rUreB) and tested it for immunogenicity and protection. BALB/c mice received either rUreB (40 μg) plus CpG (10 μg) intranasally, rUreB (50 μg) plus 3% aluminum hydroxide (50 μL) intramuscularly or rUreB (25 μg) plus Freund’s adjuvant (25 μL) subcutaneously, three times (week 0, 2 and 6). Intranasal rUreB plus CpG was neither immunogenic nor protective; intramuscular rUreB plus aluminum hydroxide was immunogenic and modestly protective; and subcutaneous rUreB plus Freund’s adjuvant was immunogenic and highly protective. The fact that protection was improved with Freund’s adjuvant indicates that recombinant urease B is a good antigen for a vaccine but that it needs a stronger adjuvant than aluminum hydroxide.
