Abstract

B cell lymphomas of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT-type lymphomas) are a distinct group of tumours which arise in extranodal sites including the stomach, salivary gland, thyroid and lung.1 The onset of lymphomas in the salivary gland and thyroid is known to be preceeded by autoimmune disease, though it is not clear whether the tumour cells themselves in such lymphomas recognise autoantigens.2,3 We have recently shown that low grade MALT-type lymphomas of the gastrointestinal tract recognise autoantigens.4 In this study we have investigated an autoantigen recognised by one such case of low grade B cell gastric lymphoma which we believe may itself have a significant role in mucosal immunity.
