Use of the alkaline comet assay to detect DNA repair deficiencies in human fibroblasts exposed to UVC, UVB, UVA and gamma-rays
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
The alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay applied to human fibroblasts allowed us to analyze the response to components of the solar spectrum (UVB and UVA) in comparison with the well-established response to UVC and gamma-rays. DNA strand breaks related to nucleotide excision repair of DNA photoproducts were produced 1 h after exposure to UVB or UVC in the normal cell line but not in the repair...
