ABSTRACT:
An isolated nucleic acid encoding the Helicobacter pylori vacuolating toxin, consisting of the nucleotides 101 through 3964 of the nucleotide sequence defined in the Sequence Listing as SEQ ID NO:1 is provided. An isolated nucleic acid from Helicobacter pylori comprising the nucleotide sequence defined in the Sequence Listing as SEQ ID NO:3 is provided. Isolated nucleic acids that selectively hybridize with the nucleic acids of the invention are provided. Also provided is a genetically altered mutant strain of H. pylori that does not express a functional vacuolating toxin. Purified proteins encoded by the nucleic acids of the invention are provided. A composition comprising an immunogenic amount of a protein or mutant strain of the invention in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is provided. A method of immunizing a subject against infection by H. pylori, comprising administering to the subject an immunogenic composition of the invention is provided.
