Helicobacter pylori strains expressing the vacuolating cytotoxin interrupt phagosome maturation in macrophages by recruiting and retaining TACO (coronin 1) protein
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
Recent evidence suggests that persistence of Helicobacter pylori can be explained, at least in part, by the failure of macrophages to kill bacteria. The fate of type 1 H. pylori strain LC11, which expresses the cag pathogenicity island (PAI) and the vacuolating cytotoxin, and type 2 strain LC20, which lacks both these virulence factors, was determined following infection of the murine macrophage cell line RAW...
