| [ Summary ] |
Epidemiological and clinical test results have led to the recognition of H. pylori as a causal pathogen of MALT lymphoma. Eradication of H. pylori has been recognized as an important treatment for this disease. However, little is known about animal experimental data for MALT lymphoma related to H. pylori. Recently, some appropriate models using mice, to investigate the mechanisms of development of MALT lymphoma have been established. In this pater we reviewed these animal models. |
