Abstract

The main subjects discussed in this paper are terminology in photobiology, mechanism of photoallergy, general aspects of erythema induction and light penetration, the role of the Langerhans cell in photobiology and immunology, and animal models for photoallergenicity. The following monographs are recommended for more detailed information on photoimmunology and experimental photoallergenicity: Parrish et al. (1983), Maurer (1983), Daynes and Spikes (1983), Daynes and Krueger (1983, 1986).
