Mediators of inflammation involved in UVB erythema.
In this review, we discuss the mediators and inflammatory cells involved in UVB-induced inflammatory changes phase by phase. We especially stress the importance of IFNgamma secreted by activated CD4(+) T cells in the development of UVB erythema. We also speculate on the mechanism underlying regression of UVB erythema.
