LacdiNAc abundance of gastric mucins in relation to J99ΔbabAΔsabA binding.A, relative abundance of LacdiNAc among mucins that bound J99ΔbabAΔsabA (binders) and did not (nonbinders). ∗ indicates p ≤ 0.05, Student’s t test. B, lack of relation between binding of J99ΔbabAΔsabA to human gastric mucins isolated from Helicobacter spp.-infected (inf) and -noninfected (Non-inf) Leb-positive and -negative individuals. Black circles denote mucins that bound J99ΔbabAΔsabA, and white circles denote mucins that did not. The bars represent mean ± SEM.
