Abstract excerpt
A whole inactivated H. pylori bacterium preparation was found to stimulate blood mononuclear cells from both antibody-positive and antibody-negative subjects, but the antibody-positive subjects tended to have lower proliferation responses. The present study was designed to characterize T cell activation further by measuring several components of the response. Eighty-seven subjects (80 dyspeptic patients and seven...
