In recent studies a significant association between H. pylori infection and antigastric
autoimmunity has been reported. Antigastric autoantibodies can be found in more than 30 …

Background—It has recently been shown that humoral antigastric autoreactivities occur in a
substantial number of Helicobacter pylori infected patients. Aims—To analyse the relevance …

This chapter describes the antigastric antibody responses to Helicobacter pylori infection in
humans. Particular types of antibodies, those directed against parietal cell canaliculi, are …

Colonization of human gastric mucosa with Helicobacter pylori leads to chronic active
gastritis and induces the occurrence of an acquired mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue …

Background. Although Helicobacter pylori is recognized as the main cause of chronic
gastritis and its associated diseases, very little is known about the pathogenetic mechanisms …

Background. Apart form bacterial virulence factors of Helicobacter pylori, certain host factors
influence the pathogenesis of H. pylori gastritis. In particular, antigastric autoantibodies that …

Autoantibodies against gastric epithelial cells are detectable in up to 50% of patients with
chronic, active Helicobacter pylori gastritis. Presence of autoantibodies against canalicular …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The majority of patients with Helicobacter pylori infection have
autoantibodies cross-reacting with gastric antigens. In this study, the relation between …

Based on clinical studies, a negative association between Helicobacter pylori and
autoimmune corpus gastritis is described. In the present investigation of an unselected …

Recent studies suggest a significant association of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) gastritis and
antigastric autoimmunity. Sera of Hp infected patients exhibit antigastric autoantibodies with …
