| Age-Specific Immune Response to HspA in Helicobacter pylori-Positive Persons in Mexico | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| The immune response to heat shock protein A (HspA) in Helicobacter pylori-positive adults increases with age in developed countries. This response has not been studied with children or in developing countries (G. I. Pérez-Pérez, J. M. Thiberge, A. Labigne, and M. J. Blaser, J. Infect. Dis. 174:1046-1050, 1996). As determined by using a specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, HspA seropositivity among 592 individuals in Mexico was 40% in adults. | |||||||||||||
