Development of a Reference Method and Materials for Quantitative Measurement of UV-Induced DNA Damage in Mammalian Cells: Comparison of Comet Assay and Cell Viability

Figure 2

Comet assay results plotted as percentage DNA in the tail. M: mol/L. Open triangles: control no UV exposure. Filled triangles: UVA exposure of 30 min at an intensity of 3.5 mW/cm2 (6.3 J/cm2). Data from 2 separate replicate experiments is included. Open squares: UVA 10 min exposure (2.1 J/cm2). M: mol/L. Results were calculated and plotted as the mean and standard deviation (see Materials and Methods).
