The aim of this study was to identify and characterize the dominant    antigen of H.pylori, which is responsible for the humoral and cellular immune    responses.           Gastric biopsy of patients with gastric ulcers were sent to microbiology    lab. First, samples were homogenized at sterile conditions, and then they    were cultured in special medium and micro-aerophylic conditions.    25 colonies of H.pylori were removed from culture medium and the whole-    cell lysates were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel    electrophoresis. Immunoblots were performed using sera from H.pylori-    infected persons . Specific H.pylori antibody responses in persons were    analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.           Two groups of bands appeared after staining of the SDS-PAGE with    comassie blue. One group was within 55-97KD and the other were around    20-24 KD. Western - blotting analysis detected a band around 55-97 KD,    which is dominant antigen and responsible for immune response against    H.pylori. Using ammonium sulfate as a precipitant for sera would have    valuable effects in the westernblot results.           As it is shown in the results , an antigen with MW=97 KD is immunodominant    and stimulate patient’s immune system to produce antibody and can be    candidate as a subunit vaccine in future.}, Keywords = {Biopsy / Helicobacter pylori / Immunoblotting / Peptic Ulcer }, volume = {9}, Number = {4}, pages = {0-0}, publisher = {Hamadan University of Medical Sciences}, url = {http://sjh.umsha.ac.ir/article-1-776-en.html}, eprint = {http://sjh.umsha.ac.ir/article-1-776-en.pdf}, journal = {Avicenna Journal of Clinical Medicine}, issn = {2588-722X}, eissn = {2588-7238}, year = {2003} } @article{ author = {Khoshraftar, Ebrahim}, title = {Comparison Between Lidocaine , Fentanyl and Placebo on Hemodynamic Changes after Intratracheal Suction in ICU Patients}, abstract ={          Suction of endotracheal tube in ICU can cause hemodynamic    changes.
