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

Table 2

Mortality of MRL/lpr mice during experimental period. Regarding the mortality of MRL/lpr mice during the experimental period, UVA1 irradiation tended to decrease the mortality of mice, but not significantly.

Mice	Total number	Number of dead mice (%)
Nonirradiated	22	5 (22.7)
UVA1	36	7 (19.4)
5 J/cm^2	18	4 (22.2)
10 J/cm^2	18	3 (16.7)

There were no significant differences among three groups.
