The immunology of nickel-induced allergic contact dermatitis.
Attempts have been made to elucidate the immunopathogenesis of contact allergy; yet, the exact mechanism by which nickel-induced allergic contact dermatitis (NACD) occurs is far from clear and is discussed herein. It seems to suggest that a direct nickel-MHC class II molecule binding on the skin antigen presenting cells such as Langerhans cells (LCs) would result in Th1 cell activation. Substan...
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.
متن کاملEvaluating the Nickel Content in Metal Alloys and the Threshold for Nickel-Induced Allergic Contact Dermatitis
Many patients are currently suffering from nickel (Ni)-induced allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). There have been few Korean studies dealing with the threshold of Ni-induced ACD and quantifying the total amount of Ni in the metal alloys. The aim of this study is to evaluate the amount of Ni leached from metal alloys and Ni contents in metal alloys, and to estimate the threshold of Ni-induced AC...
متن کاملAllergic contact dermatitis
Allergic contact dermatitis is a T cell mediated, antigen-specific inflammatory reaction of the skin due to repeated epicutaneous exposure to antigens. Immunologically it is divided into 2 phases, induction and elicitation phase. During the first phase which is clinically silent, naïve T cells are activated and differentiate into antigen-specific memory T cells. During the elicitation phase, af...
متن کاملAllergic contact dermatitis.
Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a common occupational and environmental health issue. In common with other forms of allergy the disease progresses in two stages; an initial phase during which sensitization is acquired, followed later (after subsequent exposure to the same chemical allergen) by elicitation of a cutaneous inflammatory reaction. The development of skin sensitization is associ...
