UV irradiation is commonly used in murine models of skin cancers. Despite the popularity of using UVB rays to model photocarcinogenesis in animals, there is a lack of standardization in the secondary enclosures used to administer radiation. An appraisal of the literature also shows a general lack of details regarding the materials and procedures utilized in the fabrication of such enclosures. We present in this study a detailed overview of the construction of a UVB exposure chamber that successfully induces lesions in hairless mice. A standardized protocol for producing a UVB enclosure may reduce methodological variation in future studies seeking to investigate photocarcinogenesis in animals.
紫外线照射常用于皮肤癌的小鼠模型。尽管使用紫外线B射线在动物中模拟光致癌作用很普遍,但用于进行辐射的二级围护结构缺乏标准化。对文献的评估还表明,对于此类围护结构制造中所使用的材料和程序,普遍缺乏详细信息。在本研究中,我们详细概述了一个能成功诱导无毛小鼠产生损伤的紫外线B照射室的构建。制定一个生产紫外线B围护结构的标准化方案,可能会减少未来旨在研究动物光致癌作用的研究中的方法学差异。
