Abstract excerpt
UVB-induced DNA damage has a critical role in the development of photoimmunosuppression. The purpose of this study was to determine whether repair of UVB-induced DNA damage is regulated by Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4). When TLR4 gene knockout (TLR4(-/-)) and TLR4-competent (TLR4(+/+)) mice were subjected to 90 mJ cm(-2) UVB radiation locally, DNA damage in the form of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) was...
