PURPOSE: Helicobacter pylori infection and host susceptibility interact to develop gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, and activation of specific T cells might play a crucial role in this process. Recent investigations show that the CTLA4, CD28, and ICOS genes are located on chromosome 2q33 and their polymorphisms confer susceptibility to infectious and immune diseases through deregulation...
