Adaptation to the UV-induced suppression of phagocytic activity in murine peritoneal macrophages following chronic exposure to solar simulated radiation.

Abstract excerpt

Exposure of certain strains of mice to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is known to suppress both local and systemic immune responses, including a reduction in the phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages. However, in many instances, the immunological effects have been observed following a single or a limited number of doses of UVR from sources containing a higher proportion of UVB than that emitted by the sun....
