UV‐induced DNA damage in human keratinocytes: Quantitation and correlation with long‐term survival
25 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has a major role in the pathogenesis of skin cancer due to its capacity to induce immunosuppression and DNA damage in cells. In this study, we describe the use of a novel extra-long polymerase chain reaction (XL-PCR) assay for detection of UV-inducible DNA lesions in a human keratinocyte line (HaCaT cells). Ultraviolet B (UVB), in doses from 4 to 50 mJ/cm2 resulted in a linear increase...
