Abstract excerpt
In order to develop an in vitro predictive assay for the detection of contact sensitizers, we investigated the possible modulation of the expression of cell-surface molecules in the early phases of treatment of murine epidermal cells (EC) with known contact sensitizers. After in vitro treatment of Balb/c EC with the strong contact sensitizer, TNBS, Langerhans cells (LCs) demonstrated a rapid up-regulation of...
