The Functional Status of the <i>Helicobacter pylori sabB</i> Adhesin Gene as a Putative Marker for Disease Outcome
1 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori factors that contribute to disease outcome are largely unknown, but intimate contact with host cells mediated by outer membrane proteins is thought to play an important role. Expression of the outer membrane proteins OipA, HopZ, SabA, and SabB is regulated by phase-variable dinucleotide repeats in the coding regions of the respective genes. We have evaluated the correlation between...
