15 صفحه اولImmunopathology of allergic contact dermatitis.
Allergic contact dermatitis is the consequence of an immune reaction mediated by T cells against low molecular weight chemicals known as haptens. It is a common condition that occurs in all races and age groups and affects the quality of life of those who present it. The immunological mechanism of this disease has been reviewed in recent decades with significant advance in its understanding. Th...
متن کاملImmunotherapy of allergic contact dermatitis
Immunotherapy of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) has tantalized allergists since the beginning of the 20th century. The term immunotherapy refers to treatment of disease by either inducing/enhancing or preventing/suppressing an immune response. As contact allergy is an excessive immune reaction to otherwise harmless environmental substances (haptens), immunotherapy of ACD should be aimed at p...
متن کاملImmunology of allergic contact dermatitis.
Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a T-cell mediated skin inflammation caused by repeated skin exposure to contact allergens. This review summarizes current knowledge on the immunology of ACD. Different phases in ACD are distinguished, i.e. sensitization, elicitation and resolution phases. We discuss contact allergen presentation and the central role of antigen presenting cells during sensiti...
متن کاملAllergic Contact Dermatitis Physiology
Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD) involves the penetration of an allergen through the skin surface where it acts as a hapten by binding to epidermal proteins and eliciting, a delayed Type IV hypersensitivity reaction 48 to 120 hours after exposure. This immunologic response involves the activation of Th1 cells with the subsequent release of cytokines resulting in the classic inflammatory reaction.
