METHODS: Formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded tissue from 33 gastric biopsy specimens (26 showing chronic gastritis and seven showing low grade mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma) together with blocks of uninvolved mucosa from gastrectomy specimens for MALT lymphoma (five cases) were studied. Consecutive sections were stained using haematoxylin and eosin, Giemsa, the Warthin-Starry silver stain, and a polyclonal antibody directed against H pylori using an immunoperoxidase technique following heat induced antigen retrieval. PCR analysis of DNA extracted from a further section was carried out using primers which amplified a 411 base pair fragment of the urease A gene. RESULTS: H pylori was detected in 14 (37%) sections stained with haematoxylin and eosin, 21 (55%) with Giemsa, 23 (61%) with Warthin-Starry, and 25 (66%) stained with the antibody. Seventeen (45%) cases were positive on PCR. Immunohistochemistry was positive in all cases in which H pylori was detected by other methods. CONCLUSION: Immunohistochemistry using an immunoperoxidase technique following heat induced antigen retrieval for detecting H pylori in gastric biopsy and resection specimens is highly sensitive and easy to use.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/jcp.49.2.107","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,9]],"date-time":"2007-06-09T04:50:46Z","timestamp":1181364646000},"page":"107-111","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":90,"title":["Detection of Helicobacter pylori in gastric biopsy and resection specimens."],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"M","family":"Ashton-Key","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T C","family":"Diss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P G","family":"Isaacson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1996,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1311","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(84)91816-6","article-title":"Unidentified curved bacilli in the stomach of patients with gastritis and peptic ulceration","volume":"i:","author":"Marshall, B.J.; Warren, JR","year":"1984","unstructured":"Marshall BJ, Warren JR.
