Wavelength dependence for UV-induced pyrimidine dimer formation in DNA of human peripheral blood lymphocytes

Freeman, Steven E., Ryan, Sharon L.·1990·Mutation Research/DNA Repair

Abstract

An action spectrum for the induction of pyrimidine dimers in human peripheral lymphocytes was determined between 254 and 405 nm. The presence of pyrimidine dimers was determined as UV-induced lesions that were sensitive to the dimer-specific endonuclease from Micrococcus luteus in conjunction with agarose gel electrophoresis. The rate of induction of pyrimidine dimers was maximal at 254 nm. These values can be compared with action spectra for UV-induced in vitro responses of lymphocytes.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • UVA radiation has been shown since the 1970s to induce CPDs in bacteria, mammalian cells and human skin.

    “In fact, UVA radiation has been shown since the 1970s, first in bacteria (29) and then in mammalian cells (32,55,(80)(81)(82)(83)(84) and human skin (61,65,(85)(86)(87), to be also able to induce CPDs.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
