11.   In the gastric mucosal biopsy specimens a severe phlegmonous inflammation was found.

12.   The protein was further shown to inhibit cAMP release of gastric fundic biopsies and to prevent its stimulation by histamine.

13.   Repeated gastric biopsies did not show progression to a higher grade lymphoma in any of the patients.

14.   In vitro gastric antral biopsies were stimulated by vortex mixing and eicosanoid measurements determined by radioimmunoassay.

15.   Ten gastric mucosal biopsy specimens were required for DNA extraction.

16.   Gastric biopsy specimens were assessed by a single histologist according to the Sydney classification system.

17.   Gastric antral biopsy specimens were also taken to check for the presence of H pylori by histology and culture, as previously described.
