Immunosuppression by ultraviolet B radiation: initiation by urocanic acid.
Potential impacts of direct mechanisms of climate change on human health in the Arctic 2009
-
Experimental evidence shows that UVrelated immunosuppression in mice can be increased by increasing dietary histidine [100] and correlates with a modulating increase in trans-urocanic acid [101].

-
Given an association between the lowering of resistance to some infectious diseases by UV-B induced immunosuppression in experimental animal systems [110], plus a lowering of the cellular immune response against hepatitis B vaccination in humans by urocanic acid [111] (section 15.3.3.1), attention to increases in infectious diseases as a consequence of increased exposure to UV-B due to ozone depletion is of high priority.

Treatment of contact hypersensitivity with urocanic acid.
Potential impacts of direct mechanisms of climate change on human health in the Arctic 2009
-
Dietary histidine increases mouse skin urocanic levels and enhances UV-B-induced immune suppression of contact hypersensitivity.

-
Epidermal cis-urocanic acid levels correlate with lower specific cellular immune responses after hepatitis B vaccination of ultraviolet B-exposed humans.

-
Repairing DNA damage, neutralizing the activity of cis-urocanic acid, and reversing oxidative stress abrogate UV-induced immune suppression and skin cancer induction, suggesting that DNA, UCA, and lipid photo-oxidation serve as UV photoreceptors.
