Abstract
We obtained a monoclonal antibody directed against UV-induced DNA damage. Analysis of the antigenic determinant in UV-irradiated DNA recognized by this antibody, 64M-1, revealed that it bound UV-irradiated oligo- or poly-nucleotides containing thymine—thymine or thymine—cytosine sequences. The antibody failed to bind DNA irradiated with 313 nm UV in the presence of acetophenone, which contained predominantly thymine dimers as DNA damage. The binding activity of this antibody to 254-nm UV-irradiated DNA decreased with 313-nm UV irradiation, and the decrease of this binding activity correlated with the decrease of fluorescence corresponding to (6-4) photoproducts. These results suggest that the antigenic determinant recognized by this monoclonal antibody is a (6-4) photoproduct. Using autoradiography with 3H-antibody, we could detect the formation of the (6-4) photoproduct in individual human cells irradiated with 254-nm UV doses as low as 20 J/m2.
