AN ANTIBODY PRECIPITATING UREASE AND ITS POSSIBLE RELATION TO GASTRIC ULCER.
An antibody precipitating urease was found in 171 out of 180 human sera. Data obtained on limited material (50 cases) suggest that the anti-urease titre is appreciably higher in the serum of patients suffering from gastric ulcer. This is a pointer towards a possible antigen-antibody mechanism in the genesis of chronic gastric ulceration.
