IL-8 production is related to cancer precursor lesions in strains harvested from Nashville but not from Colombia. A, AGS cells were cocultured with Helicobacter pylori cag–positive strains, supernatants were harvested, and levels of IL-8 were determined by ELISA. Results are segregated by geographic locale of infecting H. pylori strains. Mean values are shown within scatterplots. B and C, levels of IL-8 induced by strains from Colombia (B) or Nashville (C) stratified on the basis of precancerous lesions or nonatrophic gastritis. Mean values are shown within scatterplots.
