  • Gene sets for detection of ultraviolet A exposure and methods of use thereof
    Patent number: 8741561
    Abstract: Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has profound effects on human skin. However, its effects on the global transcriptome in vivo have not been well characterized. In addition, the contribution of the UVA component of UVR has not been previously assessed in vivo. Disclosed herein is the identification of sets of genes that are either up-regulated or down-regulated in response to UVA exposure. The gene sets described herein can be used to accurately identify skin samples that have been exposed to UVA and to assess the ability of a sun protection product to block the effects of UVA.
    Type: Grant
