Maintenance of Type IV Secretion Function During <named-content content-type="genus-species">Helicobacter pylori</named-content> Infection in Mice
ABSTRACT The Helicobacter pylori type IV secretion system (T4SS) encoded on the cag pathogenicity island (cagPAI) secretes the CagA oncoprotein and other effectors into the gastric epithelium. During murine infection, T4SS function is lost in an immune-dependent manner, typically as a result of in-f...
