Abstract excerpt
Two of the major cutaneous consequences of ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure are immunosuppression and the development of skin cancer. This study examined whether these effects are genetically determined. Suppression of contact hypersensitivity by local, low-dose UV radiation was examined in wh...
