Nickel-induced cytokine production from mononuclear cells in nickel-sensitive individuals and controls : Cytokine profiles in nickel-sensitive individuals with nickel allergy-related hand eczema before and after nickel challenge

Exposure to nickel is a major cause of allergic contact dermatitis which is considered to be an inflammatory response induced by antigen-specific T cells. Here we describe the in vitro analysis of the nickel-specific T-cell-derived cytokine response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 35 nick...
