Figure 6.

Cell viability of GES-1 cells infected with H. pylori. GES-1 cells were in the co-incubation with the wild type (WT), Δ0788 or the complemented strain (Δ0788+ pCHHP0788). Cell viability was determined by absorbance at 450 nm after using CCK-8. Control, non-infected GES-1 cells; WT, GES-1 cells infected with the wild type of H. pylori; Δ0788, GES-1 cells infected with hp0788 deleted mutant; Δ0788+ pCHHP0788, GES-1 cells infected with the complemented strain. Statistically significant ^**p < 0.01, ^*p < 0.05; ns, not significant.
