Abstract excerpt
Skin exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has been a major public concern because of its genotoxicity. We established recently three action spectra of UVR biological effects using inflammation, mutagenicity, and mutation induction suppression (MIS) as indicators to evaluate UVR risk for mammalian skin. MIS is an antigenotoxic epidermis-specific response by which the increase of the mutant frequency (MF)...
