Figure 2From: NF-κB activation by Helicobacter pylorirequires Akt-mediated phosphorylation of p65cag PAI products of H. pylori are required for induction of IL-8 mRNA expression. Total RNA was extracted from MKN45 (A) or AGS cells (B) infected with the wild-type strain 26695 (WT) or isogenic mutant ΔVacA, ΔvirD4 or Δcag PAI (Δcag) for the indicated times and used for RT-PCR. Lane M contains markers. Representative results of three similar experiments.Back to article page
