title: [Damage to macrophage membranes by exposure to middle-wave ultraviolet radiation].
abstract: An influence of middle-wave ultraviolet radiation (lambda max = 306 nm) on plasma membranes of mice peritoneal macrophages was studied by microfluorimetry analysis. It was found that a percentage of cells with damaged plasma membranes in the irradiated macrophage population reliably increased with the UVB dose starting with 6 J/cm2. Irradiation of cells with 4.2 J/cm2 UVR dose which does not cause evident damage to plasma membranes led to the latent damage which was detected by treatment with detergent digitonin (4.5 micrograms/ml).
