Fig. 4. Formation of
SpII
*, FANCA and XPF foci in the nucleus
depended upon the time after treatment of the cells with 8-MOP plus UVA light.
Normal human lymphoblastoid cells were treated with 8-MOP plus UVA light (6 kJ
m-2), fixed at the indicated times post-treatment and stained
independently using either anti-
-spectrin, anti-FANCA or anti-XPF
antibodies. (A) The percentage of nuclei showing multiple
SpII
*,
FANCA and XPF foci was counted over a period of 0-24 hours after treatment.
Nuclei in 100 cells were counted at each time point. (B) The average number of
damage-induced
SpII
*, FANCA and XPF foci per nucleus was counted
at time points from 0-24 hours after treatment. In each case, 100 nuclei were
counted. Vertical lines indicate ± s.e.m.
