Immunisation, H. pylori challenge and bacterial quantification in the stomach:

Groups of mice (n=5) were immunised orally four times in two rounds on days 0 and 1; 14 and 15. One hour prior to immunisation, food was withdrawn. Mice were orally gavaged with 200l of 0.3M sodium bicarbonate buffer. After 20min, mice were gavaged with 200l of sterile Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 110⁹ formalin-killed H. pylori Hel 305 with or without -GalCer (10g) (Avanti Lipids) or CT (10g) (LIST Biologicals), or with PBS alone. …
