UV light induces the formation of thymine dimers that subsequently leads to DNA damage in cells. Monoclonal antibodies that bind to thymine dimers enable the study of cell death and UV-induced DNA damage during photocarcinogenesis . Monoclonal Anti-Thymine Dimer binds to the (5'-6') cyclobutane type of homothymine or thyminecytosine heterodimers in single-stranded DNA. The antibody has a decreased affinity for the dimer in short oligonucleotides (an oligonucleotide of atleast 10-20 thymine residues is required for the labeling of the probes). The product facilitates the use of a sensitive and non-radioactive technique for the analysis of thymine dimerization.
