Cell yields from gastric biopsies (LPMC) from different age groups. (A) Comparison of biopsy weight and viable cell yields obtained from children, adults, and the elderly. Trypan blue exclusion was used to enumerate live viable cells. (B) Cell yields were expressed as total viable cells per milligram of tissue and compared between the three age groups. (C) Correlation between the age of volunteers and cell yields obtained from biopsies as continuous variables. Results were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation (n = 57); *p < 0.05.
