Expression of CEACAM1 or CEACAM5 in AZ-521 cells restores the type IV secretion deficiency for translocation of CagA byHelicobacter pylori
15 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori represents an important pathogen involved in diseases ranging from gastritis, peptic ulceration, to gastric malignancies. Prominent virulence factors comprise the vacuolating cytotoxin VacA and the cytotoxin-associated genes pathogenicity island (cagPAI)-encoded type IV secretion system (T4SS). The T4SS effector protein CagA can be translocated into AGS and other gastric epithelial cells...
