H. pylori infection does not alter HSP or HSF1 gene expression. RT-qPCR expression analysis of genes HSPH1, HSPA1A, HSPD1, HSF1, and CXCL8 8 h p.i. of AGS cells with either H. pylori P12wt or P12ΔcagA mutant. Messenger RNA levels were normalized to that of the BHI control sample with RPL32 used as a reference gene. CXCL8 induction provided a positive control for robustness of infection, n = 3
