Sunlight and carcinogenesis: Expression ofp53 and pyrimidine dimers in human skin following UVA I, UVA I + II and solar simulating radiations
13 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
DNA damage by UV radiation plays an essential role in skin cancer induction. We report that even sub-erythemal doses of solar simulating radiation, are capable of inducing substantial nuclear damage, namely pyrimidine dimers and p53 induction in human skin in situ. The quantity and distribution of p53 induced in human skin by UV radiation depended highly on the waveband and dose of UV used. Solar simulating...
