DNA Repair Enzyme-Liposomes: Human Skin Cancer Prevention
This project centered on responses of human cells to ultraviolet radiation at the fundamental and practical levels. At the fundamental levels, the relation of DNA damage to cell signaling events such as cytokine induction were studied; paths in human cells for dealing with DNA damage were studied at the nucleotide sequence level. At the practical, new, effective and inexpensive UVB filters were devised and characterized; further, to make low frequency DNA damage quantitation more generally available, a commercially-obtainable electrophoretic mode (Contour Clamped Homogeneous Electric Field) was tested and determined to give good dispersions of high molecular length DNAs.
