(Panel A) Titre of antibodies anti-urease B of H. pylori in patients with stable angina (SA), unstable angina (UA), normal coronary arteries (NCA) and blood donors (BD). Individual values are shown. The horizontal line across the points represents the mean. The dotted line represents the cut-off for seropositivity to H. pylori. No significant difference among the groups was present. (Panel B) Titre of antibodies anti-CagA of H. pylori in patients with stable angina (SA), unstable angina (UA), normal coronary arteries (NCA) and blood donors (BD). Individual values are shown. The horizontal line across the points represents the mean. The dotted line represents the cut-off for seropositivity to CagA. The titre of antibodies anti-CagA is significantly higher in patients with UA compared to those with SA, NCA or BD.

Anti-CagA antibodies immunoreacted (black arrows) with fibroblasts and lymphocytes localized inside coronary atherosclerotic plaques obtained by either patients with stable angina (panel A) or unstable angina (panel B). Conversely, no reactions were observed when staining the samples without the primary antibody (panel C and D).
