Background
XP (Xeroderma pigmentosum) is an autosomal recessive human disease characterized by hypersensitivity to sunlight and a high incidence of skin cancer on sun-exposed skin. Cells from XP patients are hypersensitive to killing by UV irradiation because of a defect in nucleotide excision repair (NER). XP is classified into seven complementation groups (A~G) and a variant form. XPA shows the most severe symptoms. Products encoded by the XP genes function in repairing UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimmer and (6-4) photoproducts as well as chemically induced variety of DNA lesions. XPA protein consists of 273 amino acids and forms a complex with many proteins such as RPA, ERCC1, TFIIH,XAB1, and XAB2, which plays a role in early step of NER. The hybridoma 5F12 was constructed by Prof. K. Tanaka's group who first cloned the XPA gene.
