Abstract
The interactions between Helicobacter pylori and the human gastric epithelium have been modeled in an in vitro cell culture system. The model permits investigation of the interplay between the bacteria and epithelial cells in a controled environment. Following coculture, the cells, bacteria, and culture supernatants are available for analysis.
