Molecular mechanisms and complete antigen formation in allergic contact dermatitis
… need to bond to endogenous proteins in the skin, and processed further into complete antigens. Antigen specific T cells then recognize the resulting antigen. Although the haptens are well known, the chemical reactions of haptens inducing ACD is not well known. Neither are the chemical structures …

HOST DEFENSE PEPTIDES OF THE COAGULATION SYSTEM AND THEIR THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL
Prevention and control of infectious diseases is seriously hampered by an increasing prevalence of bacteria that are resistant towards conventional antibiotics. Resistant bacteria are often the root cause of infections that trigger the complex clinical syndrome called sepsis, which is a concern for …

Malignant melanoma-Risk factors and the CDKN2A mutation in relation to phenotypes and other cancers.
… Tumours associated with CMM, in individuals/probands with four or more primary tumours including at least one CMM were genotyped. The probands were further sub-grouped according to subsequent cancers (Paper I). Possible similarities in tumour patterns were studied in their close relatives (Paper …

Novel Endogenous Antimicrobial Peptides
… line of defence against invading microorganisms and are an essential part of our fast innate immune system. They are ancient molecules found in all classes of life. Antimicrobial peptides rapidly kill a broad spectrum of microbes and are immunomodulatory, i.e. having additional actions …

Contact allergy to fragrances with a focus on oak moss absolute
The exposure to fragrances is widespread and contact allergy to fragrance substances affects 1–4% of the general population. Many fragrance substances are volatile and it can therefore be suspected that they may evaporate from petrolatum patch test preparations applied in test chambers. In the …

Contact allergy to formaldehyde. Diagnosis and clinical relevance.
… a daily basis. Formaldehyde is one of the oldest and most commonly used preservatives. However, it is a well-known contact sensitiser in dermatitis patients. The aims of this work were: i) to investigate the prevalence of contact allergy to formaldehyde using the baseline patch test series; ii) to …
