説明

<jats:p> Genetically defined <jats:italic>in vivo</jats:italic> models are needed to assess the importance of target cell attachment in bacterial pathogenesis. Gastric colonization by <jats:italic>Helicobacter pylori</jats:italic> in human populations is common and persistent, and has various outcomes including peptic ulcers and cancer. The impact of attachment on the course of infection was examined in transgenic mice expressing a human receptor for <jats:italic>H. pylori</jats:italic> in their gastric epithelium. Persistent infection by a clinical isolate occurred at comparable microbial densities in transgenic and nontransgenic littermates. However, microbial attachment in transgenic mice resulted in production of autoantibodies to Lewis <jats:sup>x</jats:sup> carbohydrate epitopes shared by bacteria and acid-secreting parietal cells, chronic gastritis, and parietal cell loss. This model should help identify bacterial and host genes that produce attachment-related pathology. </jats:p>
