Abstract

Abstract To study the status of oxidative DNA damage in Helicobacter pylori infection in more details, gene-specific oxidative DNA damage was investigated by examining oxidative DNA damage to individual genes. This was done by determining the loss of PCR product of a targeted gene before and after gastric mucosal DNA was treated with 8-hydroxyguanine glycosylase, which cleaves DNA at the 8-hydroxyguanine residues.(omitted)
