Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study is to ask what kind of DNA damage is involved in UV carcinogenesis. Firstly, ras gene alterations were analyzed in UV-induced mice skin cancers. Five types of base changes resulting in activated ras were detected in nine UV-induced skin cancers. Unexpectedly, transversions predominated, whereas previous findings using shuttle vectors indicated that UVC predominantly causes...
