Abstract excerpt
To assess the premise that genetically determined differences in susceptibility to UV-induced immunosuppression are reflected in UV carcinogenesis, we investigated UV skin cancer induction in two strains of reciprocal F1 hybrid mice CB6F1 males with high susceptibility to UV immunosuppression and a BALB/c X-chromosome and B6CF1 males with low susceptibility to UV immunosuppression and a C57BL/6 X-chromosome. Four...
