Abstract
► The role of 8-oxoG repair by OGG1 in allergic airway inflammation was established. ► Inflammation was induced by intranasal ragweed pollen challenge of sensitized mice. ► Pollen exposure and infiltrating neutrophils increase 8-oxoG levels in the genome. ► Repair of 8-oxoG only under neutrophilia resulted in DNA single-strand breaks. ► Down-regulation of OGG1 in the airways decreased allergic immune responses.
