Abstract

We have shown that skin-types I/II are much more susceptible to UVR-induced suppression of the induction phase of contact hypersensitivity than skin-types III/IV. Studies with a UVB sunscreen have provided indirect evidence that UVA is more immunosuppressive than it is erythemogenic. Overall, our studies show a lack of direct correlation between erythema and immunosuppression.
