Expression of mucins (MUC1, MUC2, MUC5AC, and MUC6) and type 1 Lewis antigens in cases with and without <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> colonization in metaplastic glands of the human stomach

Abstract excerpt

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) causes gastritis and intestinal metaplasia (TM) that may evolve to gastric carcinoma. Paradoxically, IM leads to clearing of H. pylori, except for some cases in which it persists in damaging the mucosa. The objective of this study was to compare the profile of mucins and type 1 Lewis antigens in IM cases with and without H. pylori. Gastric biopsies (n=32) were double-stained using...
