Gastric cellular and humoral immune response investigated by immunoperoxidase staining of 53 antral biopsies showed significant differences in Campylobacter pylori-associated gastritis as compared with non-bacterial chronic gastritis and normal controls. IgA, secretory component, and complement C3 coated bacilli were seen in all cases of active chronic gastritis. C3 was always associated with coating by IgA, IgM, or both, which were rarely seen in gastritis without polymorphonuclear neutrophil infiltration. Intraepithelial mononuclear cellular infiltration was seen in 18 of 26 cases of C. pylori-associated chronic gastritis. The intraepithelial mononuclear cells stained positively for T cells and histiocytes.

D007070 Immunoglobulin A Represents 15-20% of the human serum immunoglobulins, mostly as the 4-chain polymer in humans or dimer in other mammals. Secretory IgA (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, SECRETORY) is the main immunoglobulin in secretions. IgA,IgA Antibody,IgA1,IgA2,Antibody, IgA
D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D003176 Complement C3 A glycoprotein that is central in both the classical and the alternative pathway of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION. C3 can be cleaved into COMPLEMENT C3A and COMPLEMENT C3B, spontaneously at low level or by C3 CONVERTASE at high level. The smaller fragment C3a is an ANAPHYLATOXIN and mediator of local inflammatory process. The larger fragment C3b binds with C3 convertase to form C5 convertase.
