Overview
The authors tested the capacity of known allergens nickel sulphate, potassium dichromate andcobalt nitrate to induce expression of surface adhesive molecules ICAM-1 and HLA-DR on cultivatedhuman keratinocytes as compared with cytotoxic cadmium sulphate.To test expression of surface molecules they used the method of direct immunofluorescence andimmunoprecipitation. They recorded only a weak irregular expression of ICAM-1 after the action ofnickel sulphate. Potassium dichromate, cobalt nitrate and cadmium sulphate did not induce ICAM-1expression. None of the tested allergens induced expression of the HLA-DR molecule.Conclusion: When using the above methods, assessment of expression of ICAM-1 and HLA-DRmolecules on cultivated human keratinocytes is not a reliable marker for testing the possibleallergizing potential of chemical substances.
Key words:
