Abstract
INDUCTION of pyrimidine dimers in cellular DNA by irradiation with ultraviolet light and the molecular processes involved in the repair of this damage (photoreactivation1 and dark reactivation2–3) are established in bacteria, bacteriophage and transforming DNA. Investigations of the reactivation of ultraviolet-induced damage have been extended from micro-organisms to cover cultured mammalian cell lines4–6.
