The Protective Effects of Ultraviolet A1 Irradiation on Spontaneous Lupus Erythematosus-Like Skin Lesions in MRL/lpr Mice
Figure 4
Density of dermal infiltrating mast cells in the skin of MRL/lpr mice. In the LE-like skin lesions of MRL/lpr mice, the density of dermal infiltrating mast cells was the highest as compared with the nonlesional skin of the other mice (). Furthermore, in the nonlesional skins, there was a significant difference between UVA1-irradiated (10 J/c) and nonirradiated mice (). There was no significant difference between UVA1 5 and 10 J/c
groups. The data represent means ± 1 SD from 5 samples of each group.
