Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative spiral-shaped bacterium, which has many antigens that play an important role in the pathogenesis of gastroduodenal diseases. Due to the lack of standardized methods from native or autochthonous antigens, we proposed in this study, the design of a strategy for extracting and obtaining immunoreactive antigens against H. pylori infected-patient sera. Two H. pylori strains, one autochthonous (IPK196A) and one reference ATCC 43504, were cultured in a modified liquid medium. Both strains were subjected to the ultrasound rupture protocols applying three precipitation variants and cell fractionation by differential ultracentrifugation. Protein extracts were visualized by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred for the detection of immunoreactive antigens to sera from patients with H. pylori infection and healthy individuals. The precipitation with Coomasie was the most effective variant. The ultracentrifugation extraction method optimized the resolution of the proteins, which could be separated according to their subcellular location. The wet transfer system was ideal for the immunodetection of the antigens obtained by ultrasound, while the semi-dry system allowed detecting the membrane proteins by differential ultracentrifugation. The introduction of a methodology in the laboratory for obtaining and evaluating antigenic antibodies from autochthonous strains of H. pylori, is the prelude to the design for future diagnostics and vaccine candidates
