    Abstract

    The Colipa Skin Tolerance Task Force (STTF) is playing an active role in promoting refined methods for in vivo sensitisation tests. Dendritic cells (DCs), whose central role during the induction phase of skin sensitisation is well documented, were perceived as promising in vitro test systems. DC research projects supported by STTF evaluated the relevance of IL-1beta mRNA expression or changes in gene expression using gene microarrays for predicting potential sensitisers. Myeloid cell lines are being evaluated as surrogate DCs. Intracellular signal transduction pathways are being explored in order to understand the underlying biological mechanisms.
