Immune surveillance poses the existence of a recirculating pool of lymphocytes that migrate randomly through somatic tissues. Upon recognition of neoantigens on malignantly transformed cells, lymphocytes proceed to attack and destroy degenerate cells before a tumor emerges. Here, J. Wayne Streilein and colleagues review the effects of ultraviolet B irradiation on the induction of cutaneous immunity in the skin of mice and humans. Furthermore, they discuss the possibility of a genetic predisposition to skin cancer, mediated by a defect in the normal process by which contact hypersensitivity, and therefore immunogenicity, is elicited.
