Mouse screening test for evaluating protection to longwave ultraviolet radiation. 1978

J Barth

Albino mice photosensitized to psoralens were used for evaluating a sun-barrier preparation for use against longwave ultraviolet radiation. The difference in thickness of the treated and control ears at various times after irradiation was used as a measure of photoprotection.
