Summary of sequence analysis of “tester” specific DNA (gastric MZBL) fragments from Helicobacter pylori used for dot blot

Clone	DNA match with		Function	MZBL strains (n = 43)		Gastritis strains (n = 39)		p Value
Clone	Strain J99	Strain 26695	Function	n	%	n	%	p Value
p values were determined by Fisher’s exact test.
*Open reading frame (ORF) localised in the plasticity zone.
†Revised annotation according to Boneca and colleagues.⁴⁸
MZBL, extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma of the MALT-type; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; RE, restriction enzyme; ME, modification enzyme; TC, transformation competence.
