Abstract excerpt
Inhibition of p53-induced epidermal apoptosis, generation of p53 mutations, and suppressor T cells are the critical events responsible for the induction and development of UV-induced skin cancers. Recently, we demonstrated that CD1d knockout mice were resistant to UV-induced immunosuppression, prompting us to further address the role of CD1d in regulating UV carcinogenesis. We, therefore, investigated the...
