title: Rabbit and ferret parietal cell inhibition by Helicobacter species.
abstract: We tested sonicates of Helicobacter pylori, H. mustelae, and H. felis for inhibition of acid secretion in rabbit and ferret isolated gastric glands. Three H. pylori strains, two of three H. mustelae strains, and two H. felis strains significantly inhibited acid secretion in rabbit cells by 95.2-93.3%, 55.9% and 96.4%, and 83.4-96%, respectively. All Helicobacter strains examined inhibited acid secretion by ferret cells by 65.3-76.8%, 89.1-97.6%, and 85.8-92.8%. H. pylori inhibited acid secretion after stimulation with histamine and isobutylmethylxanthine or with 8-bromo-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (P < 0.05 for all tests). These findings demonstrate that acid inhibition is a property common to the three Helicobacter species tested. It occurs independently of the mammalian origin of the parietal cell, and it does not involve blockade of histamine-2 receptors.
