<i>Helicobacter pylori</i>neutrophil-activating protein: From molecular pathogenesis to clinical applications
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) neutrophil-activating protein (HP-NAP) was originally identified as a virulence factor of H. pylori for its ability to activate neutrophils to generate respiratory burst by releasing reactive oxygen species. Later on, HP-NAP was also found to be involved in the protection of H. pylori from DNA damage, supporting the survival of H. pylori under oxidative stress. This protein is...
