Binding of H. suis to human gastric mucins isolated from individuals with or without H. pylori infection. a, b H. suis binding to human gastric mucin samples at pH 2. a The data points represent the binding to surface-soluble, surface-insoluble, gland-soluble, and gland-insoluble mucins from each individual. b The data points represent the average binding signal from the four mucin sources from each individual. c, d H. suis binding to human gastric mucin samples at pH 7. c The data points represent the binding to surface soluble, surface insoluble, gland soluble, and gland insoluble mucins from each individual. d The data points represent the average binding signal from the four mucin sources from each individual. Statistics: a, c: **p < 0.01, two-way ANOVA, the bars represent mean ± SEM, b, d: *p < 0.05, Mann–Whitney U test, the bars represent median with range. ○ Surface soluble, ● Gland soluble, □ Surface insoluble, ■ Gland insoluble, ▲ Mean binding value of the four mucin sources per pig. The pig marked in gray carried a second H. suis strain in addition to the strain used in the experimental infection. The graphs are representative of two experiments
