摘要
Chemicals that can act as contact allergens have been identified successfully using guinea-pig models. However, contact allergy is still common, probably because of, at least in part. failures of risk assessment. A new method, the local lymph node assay, replaces the guinea-pig as a tool for hazard identification and offers the real prospect of accurate prediction of allergen potency, the missing link in skin sensitization risk assessment.
