Abstract excerpt
Chronic irradiation of human or murine epidermis with ultraviolet B (UVB) induces clones of p53-mutant keratinocytes. Clones precede and parallel the induction of carcinomas, suggesting that they are an early stage of UVB carcinogenesis. In the absence of UVB, these clones rapidly regress. For UVB-induced murine skin tumors and papillomas, regression is known to involve antigen-specific immunity. To determine...
