Abstract excerpt
Indirect antigenic stimulation by H. pylori-specific T cells is implicated in the development of low-grade gastric lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), however, the role of direct antigen stimulation is unknown. To study the role of direct antigen stimulation in MALT lymphomagene...
