Summary

Ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation induces regulatory immune cell types that may transmigrate from the skin to the blood and to the central nervous system and exert regulatory effects. Vitamin D deficiency-associated gene variants should reduce this effect if this is mediated by vitamin D. For this study, participants will be irradiated with UVB for 4 weeks. Single cell RNA Sequencing will be performed on isolated immune cells from skin, blood and Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), before and after irradiation.
