Interestingly, this contrasts recent findings that other DNA sensors, namely, stimulator of interferon genes (STING) and retinoid acid inducible gene I (RIG‐I), are downregulated by Helicobacter in an 8‐week infection mouse model where deletion of Sting1 or Rigi reduced acute immune responses but not chronic gastric inflammation.32 Here, STING1 is linked to infection.
