We established the quantitative systems to detect various kinds of ultraviolet (UV)-induced DNA damage by using,1) a capillary electrophoresis combined with laser-induced fluorescence detector. The DNA irradiated with various doses of UVC was incubated with the first antibody recognizing DNA damage, followed by incubation with the second antibody (anti-mouse IgG goat antibody) conjugated with fluorescent dye. The DNA damage-first antibody-second antibody-complex was detected in a UVC dose-dependent manner in the rage of 0-1J/m^2.This higher resolution of the capillary electrophoresis for the detection of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) in UV-irradiated DNA made us possible to assess the biological effect of physiologically relevant doses of ultraviolet light in solar light.2) an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) conjugated with enhancedchemiluminescence system (ECL). We successfully detected CPD in DNA irradiated with UVC doses up to 1J/m^2 by this ECL-ELISA system.
