Relative gene expression in keratinocytes exposed to UVC (254 nm) and UVA (365 nm). (a) CAMP expression in UVC exposure. (b) DEFB1 expression in UVC exposure. (c) IFNG expression in UVC exposure. (d) DEFB1 expression in UVA exposure. Exposure is expressed in minutes. In all cases reference group was 0 min (not exposed). Error bars represent SEM and significant values of Student’s tests are depicted as ; .
