Abstract excerpt
Populations of Helicobacter pylori cells show a stable expression of Lewis surface antigens, although phase variation may occur among individual organisms grown in vitro. We searched for variation in Lewis phenotypes among H. pylori cells of minimally in vitro-passaged isolates. Lewis expression in 180 clonal H. pylori populations from the primary culture of 20 gastric biopsy samples from 12 patients, and that in...
