Prevention by alpha-difluoromethylornithine of skin carcinogenesis and immunosuppression induced by ultraviolet irradiation.

Abstract excerpt

Administration of alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) to mice was found to inhibit both the cutaneous carcinogenesis and the immunosuppression induced by ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation. BALB/cAnNTacfBR mice were given 1% F2MeOrn in their drinking water throughout the experiment. After 3 weeks, mice received UVB irradiation consisting of five 30-min exposures per week to banks of six FS40 Westinghouse sunlamps....
