In this study we have modified DNA by exposing it to ultraviolet light in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The modified DNA was probed for binding to the antibodies present in the sera of patients suffering from various types of cancer. Higher recognition of modified DNA, as compared to native DNA, by antibodies from cancer patients has got far reaching significance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
