摘要: Background —Helicobacter pylori strains possessing the cagA gene are thought to induce interleukin 8 (IL-8) in gastric mucosa. However, it is still unclear whether a relation exists between and expression patterns of cytokines other than IL-8. Aims — To investigate production various cytokine proteins using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Patients methods In 184 patients, was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), levels IL-1β, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-10, tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) antral biopsy specimens were measured ELISA. Results— Mucosal TNF-α significantly higher H positive negative patients. Furthermore, mucosal IL-1β IL-8 infected with those strains. level closely correlated that (p Conclusion— These findings suggest ability differs among strains; + kinds may cause severe inflammation, whereas − only weakly mild inflammation. as most patients have gastritis, these not be equivalent ulcerogenic
