Fig. 3. H2O2-induced DNA base damage of human skin
fibroblasts from non-AD and AD patients. DNA damage was evaluated
immunocytochemically using a specific antibody against 8OH-dG. A shows
representative images of non-AD (1,3) and AD (2,4) fibroblasts in basal
conditions (1,2) and 2 hours after H2O2 treatment (3,4).
B shows quantitative analysis of 8OH-dG-positive cells in six non-AD and six
AD samples. Bars represent basal (open) and experimental (gray) values and are
expressed as a percentage of positive cells per field. Values are the
mean±s.e.m. of the results from at least six different fields for each
sample. *P<0.01 versus the corresponding basal
values.
