Abstract
The immunological detection of H. pylori infection is now well established, and its major advantages of simplicity, cost and speed make this the most acceptable of the non-invasive diagnostic tests. The original serological tests devised were based on relatively low technology, and although these provided adequate results for much of the current epidemiological information, it is evident that improvements are justified. The major areas for future improvements will involve the introduction of new formats, new antigens and novel detections systems. To a large degree the extent of such changes will be determined by the test application.
