Abstract excerpt
Ligation-mediated PCR was employed to quantify cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) formation at nucleotide resolution along exon 2 of the adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (aprt) locus in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells following irradiation with either UVA (340-400 nm), UVB (295-320 nm), UVC (254 nm) or simulated sunlight (SSL; lambda > 295 nm). The resulting DNA damage spectrum for each wavelength region was...
