21 Apr 2017
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with risk for chronic gastritis (CG), gastric ulcer (GU), duodenal ulcer (DU), and gastric cancer (GC). The H. pylori Cag type IV secretion system (TFSS) translocates the virulence factor cytotoxin-associated gene A protein into host cells and plays an important role in initiating gastric carcinogenesis. The CagL and CagI proteins are components of the TFSS. The...
