As Lewis a (Le(a)) and Lewis b (Le(b)) blood group antigens are isoforms of Lewis x (Le(x)) and Lewis y (Le(y)) and are expressed in the gastric mucosa, we evaluated whether the patterns of expression of Le(x) and Le(y) on Helicobacter pylori lipopolysaccharides reflected those of host expression of Le(a) and Le(b). When 79 patients (secretors and nonsecretors) were examined for concordance between bacterial and...
