Secretion of IL-10. Relationship between secretion of IL-10 and grade of inflammation (MNC) in Helicobacter pylori-positive and H. pylori-negative gastritis. Secretion of IL-10 in antrum biopsy cultures increased with the severity of chronic gastritis only in H. pylori-positive gastritis. Secretion of IL-10 was increased in H. pylori-positive gastritis grade I and grade II in comparison with H. pylori-negative patients (matched samples, P = 0.0026 for chronic inflammation score I, P = 0.04 for chronic inflammation score II). Square brackets indicate significance of statistical differences.
