Journal ArticleDOI

Hypersensitivity reactions to carbamazepine: characterization of the specificity, phenotype, and cytokine profile of drug-specific T cell clones.

TL;DR: Drug-specific T cells in CBZ-hypersensitive patients that are phenotypically different from T cells involved in other serious cutaneous adverse drug reactions are characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of drug-specific T cells in lamotrigine hypersensitivity

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that T cells are involved in the pathogenesis of some lamotrigine-hypersensitivity reactions, and the identification of drug-specific cells that express cutaneous lymphocyte antigen and type 1 cytokines after T-cell receptor activation is consistent with the clinical symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of T cells by carbamazepine and carbamazepine metabolites.

TL;DR: These data show that carbamazepine and certain stable carbazepine metabolites stimulate T cells rapidly via a direct interaction with MHC and specific T-cell receptors, providing a rationale for cross-sensitivity between the 2 drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Covalent binding of the nitroso metabolite of sulfamethoxazole leads to toxicity and major histocompatibility complex-restricted antigen presentation.

TL;DR: The potential of SMX-NO to generate a potent antigen and cause cytotoxicity may in combination provide the signals necessary to induce a hypersensitivity reaction to SMX.
