Differences in the Antigens of Helicobacter pylori Strains Influence on the Innate Immune Response in the In Vitro Experiments

Table 2

Concentration of cytokines^& in supernatant of THP-1 cells stimulated with different H. pylori antigens.

	Therapy resistant strains* (TRS)	Therapy susceptible strains* (TSS)	Median difference (95% CI )	𝑃 value
IL-12 (pg/mL)	209	3359	2089 (403–4195)	0.001
IL-6 (pg/mL)	0	57	0 (0–110)	0.02

∗TRS group (7 strains) and TSS group (7 strains). ^&Concentrations in medians. To compare medians we used Mann-Whitney 𝑈 test.
