Description

The influence of UV radiation on the vitality, the performance of phagocytosis and the ability to reduce nitro-blue tetrazolium test (NBT) by human granulocytes was investigated in vitro. Already by low doses of UVA (8% UVB) the percentage of phagocytizing granulocytes was decreased more distinctly than their cell vitality. The number of ingested Candida albicans particles was 4.5 particles per granulocyte in the controls. It was reduced to about 1.4 particles per cell by UV radiation independent of the dosis applied. On the other hand the ability of granulocytes to reduce NBT intracellularly remained completely unchanged. (author)
