[Histonet] Helicobacter helmani -- help?

[Cartun, Richard]

The polyclonal antibody from Dako labels H. helmennia in addition to H. pylori.  Several of the commercially-available mAbs to H. pylori that I have evaluated do not label H. helmennia.

Hi Guys-

Does the routine Helicobacter pylori IHC staining generally stain the whole spectrum of helicos?

We had a clinician ask specifically about the helmani and we're waiting for a response from the vendor but now I'm curious, too!

Thanks in advance and Wednesday--

Cheryl
