ABSTRACT
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.
