Abstract excerpt
The time and dose dependence of ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced mutant frequency (MF) in skin epidermis and dermis was studied with transgenic Muta mice harboring lambdagt10lacZ shuttle vector. Mutants of the lacZ transgene appearing in these tissues after 0.5kJ/m(2) UVB irradiation were fully expressed in 3-7 days, and the frequencies of those fully expressed mutants were maintained for at least the following 3...
