Journal ArticleDOI
The chemistry of contact allergy: why is a molecule allergenic?
TL;DR: The way low molecular weight chemicals react with skin proteins to form complete antigens will be discussed and the development of molecular modelling techniques to analyse molecular recognition presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromium and leather: a review on the chemistry of relevance for allergic contact dermatitis to chromium
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give suggestions on how to minimize the risk of leather-related allergic contact dermatitis, which can be elicited in chromium-allergic persons by hexavalent and trivalent chromium released from leather.
Book ChapterDOI
Immunochemical Basis of Allergic Reactions to Drugs
TL;DR: The understanding is that mechanisms established from animal data may, with due caution, be regarded as relevant to the human organism and this aspect will not be further discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study on the clinical application of a direct leukocyte migration test in chromium contact allergy.
TL;DR: A capillary tube leukocyte migration inhibition assay has been adopted as an in vitro method for the demonstration of chromium hypersensitivity in twenty‐two subjects with clinically proven or suspected chromium allergy.
