IL-17A expression induced by H. pylori-treated MDDCs differs between gastric cancer patients and healthy individuals. Induction of IL-17A production after co-culture of naïve T cell with H. pylori pulsed MDDCs from healthy individuals or gastric cancer patients. IL-17A expression differs between these two groups, as measured by ELISA. Data are presented as means and standard deviation of three independent experiments. Mann–Whitney tests were used to calculate statistical significance. *p <0.05; **p <0.01
