Mice were successfully contact photosensitized with 3,3',4',5-tetrachlorosalicyanilide (TCSA) plus black light irradiation. Pre-exposure of the photosensitizing site (ca 5 cm/sup 2/) to UVB (280 to 320 nm; 400 mJ/cm/sup 2/) rendered mice unresponsive to a challenge reaction. Cell transfer experiments demonstrated that the spleen from the nonreactive mice contained suppressor T cells (T/sub s/) that were antigen-specific and that blocked the afferent limb of contact photosensitivity to TCSA. To exert suppressive functions, T/sub s/ required another population of cyclophosphamide-sensitive T cells that resided in the spleens of nonsensitized mice. The results provide evidence that UVB-induced aberrant homeostasis of the skin caused a marked suppression of immune system that is associated with the generation of T/sub s/.
