The protective effect of therapeutic oral immunization with homologous and heterologous formalin-inactivated Helicobacter pylori cells given together with cholera toxin as an adjuvant was evaluated with C57BL/6 mice infected with H. pylori Sydney strain 1 (SS1). The bacteria used for immunization were strains that were either homologous or heterologous with regard to the O antigen (i.e., the Lewis antigen [Le antigen]) expressed by the lipopolysaccharide of the infecting H. pylori SS1 strain. We found that repeated oral immunization with inactivated H. pylori SS1 cells can significantly inhibit an existing infection (P < 0.001) and that the protection induced by such therapeutic immunization extends to protection against reinfection (P < 0.001). A similar level of protection was also achieved by immunization with another inactivated H. pylori strain having the same O antigen (Le antigen) as the infecting H. pylori SS1 strain. In contrast, immunization with inactivated strains expressing a heterologous O antigen, Le(x), provided less protection or no protection. Immunization with H. pylori lysate preparations, on the other hand, resulted in significant comparable protection whether the lysates were prepared from an Le(x) strain or an Le(y) strain. Postimmunization gastritis was seen in mice that were protected after vaccination but not in unimmunized or unprotected mice. In conclusion, therapeutic immunization with inactivated H. pylori whole-cell vaccines may provide strong protection both against experimental H. pylori infection and against later reinfection.
