Abstract excerpt
The cytotoxic and mutagenic activities of monochromatic ultraviolet light (UV) at four wavelengths (254, 290, 300 and 320 nm) were determined using a rat fibroblast cell line CREF stably infected with a retroviral vector carrying the neo and HSV-tk markers. In this system, mutations can be positively detected as acyclovir-resistant colonies. Although the action spectra for these activities closely fit some of the...
