Bacterial factors and immune pathogenesis in Helicobacter pylori infection.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virulent Helicobacter pylori strains which have been clinically associated with severe outcome induce increased gastric mucosal immune responses. Although several bacterial pathogenic factors have been shown to have a considerable role in H pylori infection, variability in host immune responses may also contribute to mucosal damage in H pylori associated gastritis.

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the most common gastrointestinal infections worldwide. Predominant T-helper 1 (Th1) responses with increased gamma interferon (IFN- γ) levels have been proposed to play an important role in H. pylori-induced peptic ulcer. However, bacterial factors contributing to the initiation of Th1 polarization of H. pylori-specific immune responses have n...

Background: Polymorphisms in the immune related genes are important in the clinical outcome of Helicobacter pylori infection. Myeloperoxidase -463 G/A polymorphism has been shown to reduce enzyme expression and activity. Objective: the aim of the present study is to investigate the association of myeloperoxidase G-463A polymor-phism with clinical outcome of Helicobacter pylori infection. Method...
