Autoantibodies to gastrin-producing cells in antral (type B) chronic gastritis

The New England Journal of Medicine
C VandelliF Franceschi

Abstract

Autoantibodies that react exclusively with the gastrin-secreting cell of human antrum have been detected by immunofluorescence in eight of 106 patients with histologic evidence of chronic atrophic gastritis, Type B, involving mainly the antrum. These antibodies were of the IgG class and of low titer. However, follow-up studies one to two years later showed persistently positive reactions, despite symptomatic treatment. These data support the concept of an autoimmune variant of chronic "antral" gastritis, Type B.

Atrophic Gastritis

Atrophic Gastritis is a process where gastric glandular cells are lost and replaced with firbous tissues, as a result of chronic inflammation. Learn more about Atrophic Gastritis here.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
