Abstract excerpt
Irradiation with ultraviolet B (UVB; 290-320 nm) initiates systemic immunosuppression of contact hypersensitivity (CHS). UV dose-responses for suppression of CHS to trinitrochlorobenzene were established in 18 strains of inbred mice. Three phenotypes with significantly different susceptibilities to UV suppression were identified. The phenotypes were: high (HI) susceptibility, 50% suppression with 0.7-2.3 kJ/m2 UV...
