<i>Helicobacter bilis</i> triggers persistent immune reactivity to antigens derived from the commensal bacteria in gnotobiotic C3H/HeN mice

Abstract

Colonisation of gnotobiotic C3H/HeN mice with H bilis perturbs the host's response to its resident flora and induces progressive immune reactivity to commensal bacteria that contributes to the development of immune-mediated intestinal inflammation.
