title: Autoimmune reactions to gastric mucosa in chronic gastritis: a review.
abstract: The main results of two-decade co-operation between Tartu University, Estonia, and the University of Helsinki, Oulu and Tampere in Finland on immunology of chronic gastritis are presented. These results include data on cell-mediated and humoral immunity to autoantigens from gastric antrum and corpus mucosa in chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, gastric carcinoma and other gastric diseases, as well as in random samples from two populations.
