Horseradish peroxidase conjugation with fetuin, which expresses sialic acid-dependent binding specificity to Helicobacter pylori, was used to develop an enzyme-linked glycosorbent method. This method yielded results that were consistent with those from a hemagglutination assay using a microscope and allowed the quantitative analysis of inhibitors of sialic acid-dependent Helicobacter pylori adhesion to host cells. The results of inhibitor screening with carbohydrates, including commercially available polysaccharides and extracted from various sources, displayed not only the relative inhibition potencies among carbohydrates, but also their respective concentration-dependencies.
