Cytokine mRNA levels in the Mongolian gerbil gastric antral (a and b) and corporal (c and d) mucosa when infected with 7.13 wild-type (white circle) and 7.13 oipA (black triangle), babA (white square), or alpAB (black circle) mutants (KO) over 3 months. Cytokine mRNA levels in 7.13 wild-type infections were higher throughout the experimental period. *P < 0.05 compared with week 0. , 713 wt;
