Removal of uv-induced pyrimidine dimers from the replicated and unreplicated DNA of human fibroblasts

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5111854

Excision repair in uv irradiated human fibroblasts has been examined in portions of DNA replicating after irradiation versus those remaining unreplicated. Two approaches, one using a uv-endonuclease to estimate pyrimidine dimers remaining in DNA, the other using density labeling to measure excision resynthesis, indicate that the extent of repair is the same for both replicated and unreplicated DNA.
