Abstract excerpt
We recently reported the kinetics of mutation induction by UVB in the skin epidermis and dermis of transgenic Muta trade mark mice [Ikehata and Ono, Mutat Res 508:41-47, 2002]. In the present study we determined the complete DNA sequence of the lacZ transgene in 208 mutants isolated from the dermis and epidermis of UVB-irradiated and control mice. The resulting mutation patterns for the dermis and epidermis were...
