title: [Studies in experimental animal models of the effect of ultraviolet radiation (UVC) on blood and isolated cell populations].
abstract: The cellular and molecular basis of the therapeutically used effect of reinjected ultraviolet ( UVC ) irradiated blood is unknown. First approaches to that problem were made in this study by aid of model experiments. Neither the spontaneous degranulation nor the antigen-induced histamine release from rat connective tissue mast cells (in vivo) was influenced by the injection (i.v.) of ultraviolet irradiated blood or blood lymphocytes. By comparison of the effect of ultraviolet light on blood lymphocytes (number of dead cells, strength of chemoluminescence) after irradiation of the isolated cells and the unfractionated blood respectively, we could show that the strong light absorption within the blood sample prevents damage or functional alterations of the blood lymphocytes. The compound 48/80-induced histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells can be completely inhibited by ultraviolet irradiation (0.6 mJ/cm2) without increasing the spontaneous histamine release.
