Reduced activation of inflammatory responses in host cells by mouse-adapted Helicobacter pylori isolates
1 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori strains that harbour the Cag pathogenicity island (Cag PAI) induce interleukin (IL)-8 secretion in gastric epithelial cells, via the activation of NF- kappa B, and are associated with severe inflammation in humans. To investigate the influence of Cag PAI-mediated inflammatory responses on H. pylori adaptation to mice, a selection of H. pylori clinical isolates (n = 12) was cag PAI genotyped...
