Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori neutrophil-activating protein (HP-NAP) is a virulence factor that activates phagocytic NADPH-oxidase. The effect of HP-NAP on the production of tissue factor (TF), plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 (PAI-2), and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) by human blood mononuclear cells (MNC) was evaluated by using functional and immunological assays and mRNA analysis. HP-NAP induced time- and...
