Immunoprecipitation System (LIPS) for detection of autoantibodies against ATP4A and ATP4B subunits of gastric proton pump H+,K+-ATPase in atrophic body gastritis patients
OBJECTIVES: Circulating autoantibodies targeting the H+/K+-ATPase proton pump of gastric parietal cells are considered markers of autoimmune gastritis, whose diagnostic accuracy in atrophic body gastritis, the pathological lesion of autoimmune gastritis, remains unknown. This study aimed to assess autoantibodies against ATP4A and ATP4B subunits of parietal cells H+, K+-ATPase in atrophic body gastritis patients and controls.
