The Protective Effects of Ultraviolet A1 Irradiation on Spontaneous Lupus Erythematosus-Like Skin Lesions in  MRL/lpr Mice

<table>TUNEL-positive cells and mast cells in the UVA1-irradiated skin of MRL/lpr mice. Positive cells for TUNEL assay are shown in green, whereas mast cells are labeled with avidin-Texas Red to be shown in red, and merged images are shown.
