โฆ Synopsis
We studied contact photosensitivity (CPS) to tetrachlorosalicylanilide (TCSA) in BALB/cJ mice with various doses of TCSA and UVA at sensitization and challenge. From these studies we recommend the following protocol: sensitization on days 0 and 1 with 50/d of 1% TCSA followed by 3 J[cm 2 of UVA, and challenge on day 7 with 10/~1 of 3% TCSA followed by 6 J]cm 2 of UVA. This gave an ear swelling response of 27.4 _+ 0.6 โข 10-3 (mean + standard error). We also demonstrated that there is reciprocity between volume and concentration of TCSA at sensitization but not between TCSA and UVA doses at sensitization.
