Thymine Dimer Antibody Review

 

 

 

Expression

  • UVAB (280-400 nm UV radiation) produced dimers in both dermal and epidermal cells, whereas UVC (254-nm UV radiation) induced a detectable number of dimers only in epidermal cells; b) UVAB-induced dimers were observed in both the nuclei and cytoplasm of affected cells, whereas dimers induced by UVC were confined to nuclei.

  • Substitution of equally carcinogenic UV-A for UV-B irradiations lowers epidermal thymine dimer levels during skin cancer induction in hairless mice. PMID: 7586151

  • Rapid disappearance of dimers was observed in cells which had been microinjected with yeast photoreactivating enzyme prior to UV irradiation. PMID: 2306742

  • urinary thymidine dimer (T = T) could be a suitable noninvasive biomarker for UV exposure. PMID: 16365002, PMID: 11511303

  • thymidine dimers (T=T) level in nevi was found to be 1- to 4.5-fold lower than that in surrounding skin. PMID: 11971988
