<i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Cytotoxin-Associated Gene A Impairs Human Dendritic Cell Maturation and Function through IL-10–Mediated Activation of STAT3
30 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori infection induces chronic gastric inflammation that can progress to cancer. In this process, the virulence factor cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) plays a central role by directly altering epithelial cell signaling and inducing a strong Th1 immune response, which contributes to carcinogenesis. It is still barely understood how the bacterium evades clearance despite this solid immune response...
