NF-κB activation and potentiation of proinflammatory responses by the <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> CagA protein
21 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
The Helicobacter pylori immunodominant protein, CagA, is associated with severe gastritis and carcinoma. Injection of CagA into gastric epithelial cells by type IV secretion leads to actin-cytoskeletal rearrangements and cell scattering.
