The cell envelope of Helicobacter pylori contains lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the O-chain of which expresses type 2 Lexand Leyblood group antigens, which mimic human gastric mucosal cell-surface glycoconjugates and may contribute to the survival of H. pylori in gastric mucosa. Here we describe the generation of monoclonal antibodies specific for Lexand Leyblood group determinants and the characterization of their binding properties using purified, structurally defined H. pylori LPS, synthetic glycoconjugates, and H. pylori cells. Analysis of oligosaccharide binding by SPR provided a rapid and reliable means for characterization of antibody affinities. One of the antibodies, anti-Lex, was of IgG3 subclass and had superior binding characteristics as compared with the commercially available anti-LexIgM. These antibodies could have potential in the immunodiagnosis of certain types of cancer, in serotyping of H. pylori isolates, and in structure–function studies.Key words: Helicobacter pylori, lipopolysaccharide, monoclonal antibodies, Lewis determinants, immunodiagnosis.

Pneumonia is the main cause of hospital admission in COVID-19 patients. We aimed to perform an extensive characterization of clinical, laboratory, and cytokine profiles in order to identify poor outcomes in COVID-19 patients. Methods: A prospective and consecutive study involving 108 COVID-19 patients was conducted between March and April 2020 at Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid (Spain). Plasma samples from each patient were collected after emergency room admission. Forty-five serum cytokines were measured in duplicate, and clinical data were analyzed using SPPS version 25.0. Results: A multivariate predictive model showed high hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) plasma levels as the only cytokine related to intubation or death risk at hospital admission (OR = 7.38, 95%CI—(1.28–42.4), p = 0.025). There were no comorbidities included in the model except for the ABO blood group, in which the O blood group was associated with a 14-fold lower risk of a poor outcome. Other clinical variables were also included in the predictive model. The predictive model was internally validated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.94, a sensitivity of 91.7% and a specificity of 95%. The use of a bootstrapping method confirmed these results. Conclusions: A simple, robust, and quick predictive model, based on the ABO blood group, four common laboratory values, and one specific cytokine (HGF), could be used in order to predict poor outcomes in COVID-19 patients.
