The induction and repair of DNA damages produced by exposure of normal human skin fibroblasts to the simulated sunlight produced by a solar simulator were examined. The photoproducts measured were pyrimidine dimers, E. coli endonuclease III-sensitive sites, 6-4 photoproducts, Dewar isomers, DNA-protein crosslinks, and DNA single-strand breaks. The results of these experiments serve to form a basis for the quantitation of damages induced by exposure to sunlight.
