Intracellular <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> in gastric epithelial progenitors
28 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori is generally viewed as an extracellular pathogen. We have analyzed the tropism of H. pylori clinical isolates in a gnotobiotic transgenic mouse model of human chronic atrophic gastritis, a preneoplastic condition. These mice lack acid-producing parietal cells and have an amplified population of dividing gastric epithelial progenitors (GEPs) that express NeuAc alpha 2,3Gal beta 1,4-glycans...
