Fig. 1 Analysis of gastric epithelial cells and H. mustelae strain 12198 using whole-cell antiserum raised in rabbits against H. mustelae strain 12198 and preimmune serum. Lanes 1 and 7, H. mustelae strain 12198; lanes 2 and 8, ferret gastric epithelial cells; lane 3, ferret duodenal epithelial cells; lane 4, ferret colonic epithelial cells; lane 5, rabbit gastric epithelial cells; and lane 6, human gastric epithelial cells. Lanes 1–6 were incubated with H. mustelae antiserum, and lanes 7 and 8 were incubated with preimmune serum. Molecular masses are indicated (in kilodaltons) on the left.
