Abstract

A marked contact photosensitivity (CPS) response to 3,3',4',5 tetrachlorosalicylanilide (TCSA) plus UVA was induced in mice. Cyclophosphamide (Cy), given prior to sensitization, caused a further increase in ear swelling. When UVB radiation was given at a site distant from that used for sensitization it caused a dose-related suppression of CPS. Cy did not eliminate the UVB-induced suppression.
