Reaction of antibodies toCampylobacter jejuniand cytolethal distending toxin B with tissues and food antigens

BACKGROUND: and its toxins may be cross-reactive with some human tissues and food antigens, potentially leading to autoimmune responses. AIM: cytolethal distending toxin (Cdt) antibodies with tissue and food antigens to examine their role in autoimmunities. METHODS: Cdt which served as positive controls. RESULTS: Cdt antibody with different food antigens, 160 out of 180 foods showed insignificant reactions, while 20 foods showed reactions ranging from low to high. CONCLUSION: and its Cdt may play a role in inflammation and autoimmunities beyond the gut.
