T Cell Cytokines Impact Epithelial Cell Responses during Helicobacter pylori Infection

The goal of this is to highlight literature that demonstrates how cytokines made by T lymphocytes impact the gastric epithelium, especially during infection. These cytokines effect many of the diverse functions of the epithelium and the epithelium's interactions with The focal point of this will be on how T cell cytokines impact antimicrobial function and barrier function and how T cell cytokines influence the development and progression of cancer. Furthermore, the modulation of epithelial-derived chemokines by infection will be discussed.
