Urocanic acid may not be the photoreceptor for UV-induced suppression of contact hypersensitivity.

W L Morison, S P Kelley.   

Abstract

We have tested the hypothesis that urocanic acid is the photoreceptor molecule for ultraviolet radiation-induced systemic suppression of contact hypersensitivity in the mouse. Almost complete removal of urocanic acid by tape-stripping of exposed skin was not associated with abrogation of immune suppression. This finding makes it unlikely that urocanic acid is the chromophore.
