Solar UVB dosimetry by amplification of short and long segments in phage lambda DNA.

Abstract:

:DNA UVB dosimeters, consisting of minidots of dried bacteriophage DNA placed on a UV-transparent polymer film, were analyzed by polymerase chain reactions (PCR). Ultraviolet-B dosimetry obtained with amplification of phage lambda DNA of segments of 1.08 kilobase pairs (kbp) and 2.24 kbp was compared with that obtained with amplification of a 0.5 kbp segment (H. Yoshida and J. D. Regan, 66, 82-88, Photochem. Photobiol. 1997). The number of lesions in each segment induced by UV radiation is proportional to the size of the amplified segments; thus, the average lesion frequency per unit dose was greatest in the 2.24 kbp and least in the 0.5 kbp segment. The average lesion frequency per unit dose was approximately 3.5 x 10(-2) and approximately 11.9 x 10(-2) m2 kJ-1 for 1.08 kbp and 2.24 kbp, respectively, compared to that for 0.5 kbp of approximately 1.7 x 10(-2) m2 kJ-1 at 50 ng DNA. Dependability of DNA dosimeters, containing 50 ng and 100 ng, was tested by placing the DNA dosimeters for a time period of either 1 or 2 days outdoors on 8-12 January at Melbourne, FL. The daily dose was obtained directly with amplification of the 2.24 kbp segment and the 2 day continuous dose was obtained with amplification of the 1.08 kbp segment. Although the average lesion frequencies were different, both 50 ng and 100 ng DNA dosimeters provided about the same UVB dose, equivalent to the dose applied with a solar UVB simulator. The total UVB dose for 4 days obtained by amplification of the 1.08 and 2.24 kbp segments was 19.4-20.8 kJ m-2, which is within experimental error with the 4 day continuous dose obtained with 0.5 kbp segments. The average daily dose obtained by 0.5 kbp and 1.08 kbp agreed with the average daily dose directly obtained with 2.24 kbp.
