Interplay of innate and adaptive immunity in metal-induced hypersensitivity

Highlights • Metal-induced hypersensitivity involves sensitization of metal-reactive T cells. • Metals penetrate skin and lung barriers and interact with self-proteins and cells. • Metals activate innate immune responses that may contribute to sensitization. • Metals interact with MHCII/peptide comp...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Metal-induced hypersensitivity involves sensitization of metal-reactive T cells. • Metals penetrate skin and lung barriers and interact with self-proteins and cells. • Metals activate innate immune responses that may contribute to sensitization. • Metals interact with MHCII/peptide complexes to activate CD4+ T cells.
