Solar ultraviolet (UV)-induced DNA lesions are associated with skin carcinogenesis. The detection of these DNA lesions is important to understand their genotoxicity and health effects. However, sunlight exposure-relevant DNA damage measurement is still a challenge. Here, we summarize our recent progresses on the related analytical techniques, including synthesis of dimeric lesions, the optimization of procedures for ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-coupled mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS), and the maturation of anti-T(6-4)T photoproduct antibodies and their potential applications for immunoassay.
