Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant expression vector containing a fusion gene which is prepared by ligating adhesion gene of H. pylori and A2 and B subunit genes of Vibrio cholerae toxin, and a process for preparing a chimeric protein employing a recombinant microorganism transformed with the said expression vector. The recombinant DNA which is designed for convenient expression and gene manipulation, may express a chimeric protein having excellent immunogenicity to H. pylori, which is stable in stomach, and penetrate mucous membrane of stomach easily, finally to stimulate production of sIgA. Accordingly, the chimeric protein expressed from the recombinant DNA may be used as an active ingredient of the diagnostic kit for H. pylori infection and preventive or therapeutic vaccine for H. pylori-associated diseases, and may be used in the production of anti-H. pylori antibody.

Abstract: The present invention relates to chimeric proteins consisting of antigenic proteins of Helicobacter pylori and A2 and B subunits of Vibrio cholerae toxin, more specifically, to recombinant DNAs coding for antigenic proteins Helicobacter pylori and A2 and B subunits of Vibrio cholerae toxin, recombinant expression vectors containing the genes, a process for preparing the chimeric proteins employing the recombinant microorganisms transformed with the said expression vectors, and preventive and therapeutic vaccines comprising the chimeric proteins for Helicobacter pylori-associated diseases. The recombinant DNAs which are designed for convenient expression and gene manipulation, can express chimeric proteins having excellent immunogenicity to H. pylori, which are stable in stomach, and penetrate mucous membrane of intestines easily, finally to stimulate production of sIgA. Accordingly, the chimeric proteins expressed from the recombinant DNAs may be used as an active ingredient of the diagnostic kit for H.

Abstract: A drink instrument in the form of a beverage container has a prepackaged internal straw inserted into the interior thereof during a package process. The internal straw is automatically drawn from the interior of the container when the top is opened to access the drinking fluid therein.
