title: A study of the aetiology of gastritis following gastric surgery. I. Immunofluorescent studies of the gastric mucosa.
abstract: The gastritis which follows surgical trauma is probably not of autoimmune origin. Although identical with the gastritis of pernicious anaemia (PA) upon routine histological examination, immunofluorescent examination of post-operative gastritis differs in that IgA-containing plasma cells alone are found, in contrast to the predominantly IgG-containing plasma cells in PA.
