Helicobacter suis(H. suis), formerly calledHelicobacter heilmanniitype 1 (H. heilmannii), is a gram-negative bacterium of theHelicobacterspecies. This pathogen infects the stomach of humans and animals such as dogs, cats, pigs, and rodents, the latter giving rise to zoonotic infection. Here, we generated aH. suis-specific antibody useful for immunohistochemistry with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections. To do so, we began by cloning the gene encodingH. suischolesterol α-glucosyltransferase (αCgT). αCgT is the key enzyme responsible for biosynthesis of cholesteryl α-d-glucopyranoside (CGL), a major cell wall component ofHelicobacterspecies includingH. suis. The deduced amino acid sequence ofH. suisαCgT had 56% identity with the correspondingHelicobacter pylori(H. pylori). We then developed a polyclonal antibody (anti-Hh-I205R) by immunizing rabbits with a 205 amino acidH. suisαCgT fragment. Immunohistochemistry with the anti-Hh-I205R antibody could differentiateH. suisfromH. pyloriin gastric mucosa sections derived from mice infected with either pathogen. We then probed formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of human gastric mucosa positive forH. suisinfection with the anti-Hh-I205R antibody and detected positive staining. These results indicate that anti-Hh-I205R antibody is specific forH. suisαCgT and useful to detectH. suisin gastric specimens routinely analyzed in pathological examinations.
