Background Helicobacter hepaticus infection might be associated with liver and biliary tract diseases. To investigate its pathogenic role, the properties of anti-H. hepaticus serum antibody in patients with liver and diseases were elucidated.Methods Serum samples were collected from 166 patients-69 with liver diseases, 38 with upper gastrointestinal diseases, 17 with lower gastrointestinal diseases, 26 with biliary tract diseases, and 16 with pancreas diseases; 30 control sera were obtained from 30 healthy blood donors. Serum samples were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and western blot using the new monoclonal antibody HR II-51.Results Anti-H. hepaticus serum antibody concentrations in patients with liver disease (n = 69) were significantly increased compared with those in other disease groups (p = 0.014 to
