Requirements for CD4+ cells and gamma interferon in resolution of established Cryptosporidium parvum infection in mice.

abstract：:Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) occurs after a long-term Helicobacter pylori infection. However, the disease can develop earlier, and rare cases have been observed in children, suggesting that these H. pylori strains may be more virulent. We used suppressive subtractive hybridization for comparative genomics between H. pyl...
