## BACKGROUND. Helicobacter pylori infection is a risk factor for gastric carcinogenesis. High dietary vitamin C intake appears to protect against gastric carcinoma. It
Bacterial heat shock proteins (Hsps) are abundantly produced during the course of most microbial infections and are often targeted by the mammalian immune response. While Hsps have been well characterized for their roles in protein folding and secretion activities, little attention has been given to
Twin studies evidence that genetic factors of the host influence the acquisition and the clinical outcome of Helicobacter pylori infections in addition to bacterial and environmental factors. In the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) a-gene, allelic frequencies of the polymorphic microsatellite TNFa and th
