In a study conducted by Craig et al., investigators used a murine model of H. felis-induced gastric MALT lymphoma to show that the development of MALT lymphoma requires both BCR signaling, via the poly-reactivation of tumor-derived immunoglobulins (Igs) with self-antigens, and tumor-infiltrating CD4+ T cells [25]. This evidence concerns the gene BCR and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma.
