Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

• The bacterial DNA is methylated immediately following replication so it will not be a suitable substrate for restriction endonuclease cleavage.
• g - 1 ) Page 2 The superior persistence of GP over GN bacterial DNA is in agreement with in vitro based predictions, but the superior persistence of DNA from non- spore-forming-GP Actinobacteria is surprising, because endospores are generally regarded as the hardiest of all cell types.
• Bacterial DNA is implicated in the inflammatory response to delivery of DNA/DOTAP to mouse lungs.
• This conclusion is supported by studies demonstrating that bacterial DNA is a potent immunogen in normal mice and can induce antibodies specific for determinants on bacterial ss and dsDNA.
• TOLL proteins have been identified as recepetors for LPS and lipoproteins, the receptor for bacterial DNA is still undiscovered.
