Figure 1 Amino acid sequence characteristics of CagA variable region. CZU-1,2,3: Isolates from Chinese patients stand for the three types of CagA variable region respectively; CZU-1: CagA with 2 EPIYAs; CZU-2: CagA with 3 EPIYAs and CZU-3: CagA with 4 EPIYAs. The red letters stand for the deletion of amino acids in CZU-1 and the letters underline the mean extra amino acids in CZU-3 when compared to CZU-2. NCTC11637 was a Western standard strain.
