Abstract excerpt
The activation of dendritic cells (DC), including Langerhans cells (LC) that reside within the epidermis, is a critical event in the induction phase of allergic contact hypersensitivity. Although recently, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) has been reported to play a role in the activation of DC induced by allergens, the signaling pathways involved in this process have yet to be determined. We...
