Abstract excerpt
The hairless SKH-1 mouse strain has a higher skin tumor incidence, shorter tumor latency, and higher tumor yield in response to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation than the SENCAR strain. In this study we assessed the differences in UV susceptibility of both strains by measuring DNA photodamage and epidermal proliferation after one UV treatment and after 1, 3, 6, and 9 wk of chronic UV irradiation. Induction rates for...
