To see the damage of DNA due to ultraviolet-B more distinctly, immunoelectron microscopic studies using a monoclonal antibody against cyclobutane-type thymine dimers were performed. As a result, we could detect the existence of thymine dimers on human genomic DNA and pUC18 plasmid DNA visually. This technique can be useful to locate the photoproducts formed on DNA.
