Effects of ultraviolet B irradiation on the production of regulated upon activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted protein in cultured human epidermal keratinocytes

Ultraviolet B radiation exerts enhancing

Ultraviolet B radiation exerts enhancing effects on the production of a complement component, C3, by interferon-γ-stimulated cultured human epidermal keratinocytes, in contrast to photochemotherapy and ultraviolet A radiation that show suppressive effects

The present study was designed to investigate by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction methods whether photochemotherapy (PUVA) or ultraviolet (UV) B treatment affects C3 production by interferon (IFN)-gamma-stimulated keratinocytes cultured in s
