Cytokine expression patterns in the stomach of mice and Mongolian gerbils infected with H. suis and H. pylori . Shown are the mean fold changes of mRNA expression in infected mice (A-B) and gerbils (C) for IFN-γ, IL-10, Foxp3, IL-17, CXCL13. The mean fold changes in the relevant uninfected control groups is equal to 1. An * indicates a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between infected and control groups. An a indicates a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between WT Helicobacter infected groups and isogenic ggt mutant infected groups. HS: animals infected with WT H. suis strain HS5cLP; HSm: animals infected with H. suis strain HS5cLPΔggt; SS1: animals infected with WT H. pylori SS1; SS1m: animals infected with H. pylori SS1Δggt; PMSS1: animals infected with H. pylori PMSS1; PMSS1m: animals infected with H. pylori PMSS1Δggt; WT: wild-type.
