Substitution of equally carcinogenic UV-A for UV-B irradiations lowers epidermal thymine dimer levels during skin cancer induction in hairless mice

Flow cytometric immunofluorescence assay for quantification of cyclobutyldithymine dimers in separate phases of the cell cycle

Detection of thymine dimers in suprabasal and basal cells of chronically UV-B exposed hairless mice

An immunocytochemical method was developed to study induction and removal of DNA damage in specific cell populations in the epidermis of hairless mice during chronic ultraviolet (UV) exposure. Identification of mouse suprabasal cells was performed with an immunoperoxidase stain. This stain was shown not to affect the fluorescent nuclear stains,...
