Fig 1. Candidate antigens and immunization schedule used in this study.

Fig 1

(A) Three His-tagged recombinant proteins were designed to be used as candidate antigens: full length HspA (rHspA), the catalytic domain of GGT (rGGT), and a fusion protein composed of rHspA and rGGT linked by two lysine residues (rHspA-GGT). (B) Recombinant proteins were purified by nickel ion affinity chromatography and gel-filtration chromatography. Recombinant proteins were then analyzed by SDS-PAGE. (C) The schedule for vaccine immunization, determination of cytokines secretion, and antigen-specific antibodies. (D) The schedule for vaccine immunization and analysis of H. pylori colonization.
