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...
