Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to extract LPS-DNA complex from periodontal bacteria, and to analyze the pathogenicity. We succeeded in extracting DNA-LPS complex by using neutral phenol. It also cleared that bonding mode of LPS-DNA complex was both ionic and non-ionic bond. In addition, it was suggested that structure of the LPS affected to form LPS-DNA comlplex. Furthermore, comparing with the high-purity LPS, inflammatory cytokine TNF-α production by LPS-DNA complex was lower value. Further analysis is necessary for toxic expression of LPS-DNA complex.
