Immune Reactions Against Elongation Factor 2 Kinase: Specific Pathogenesis of Gastric Ulcer from Helicobacter pylori Infection

Figure 1

Autoantibody to heat-stressed HGC-27 cells in GU patients. (a) The titers of anti-HGC27 antibodies in patients with H. pylori infection and healthy volunteers are shown. The open column indicates the antibody titer in GU patients, the striped is CG patients, and the solid is HC. The left column displays the titers of anti-nonheat-stressed HGC27 antibody and the right antiheat-stressed HGC27 antibody in each group. The titers of anti-HGC-27 antibody were significantly elevated by heat stress in GU and CG patients (* 𝑃 < . 0 1 ).
