A triple-antigen Helicobacter pylori vaccine is safe and immunogenic

[first paragraph[

Studies in animal models have shown that vaccination with recombinant

Helicobacter pylori vacuolating cytotoxin A (VacA), cytotoxin-

associated antigen, and neutrophil-activating protein (NAP) confers

protection against H. pylori infection. Malfertheiner et al. have now

shown that a prophylactic vaccine comprising these three conserved

antigens plus an aluminum hydroxide adjuvant is safe and exhibits

strong immunogenicity in H. pylori-negative individuals.
