| Research Abstract |
Metal allergy is classified as contact hypersensitivity, which is known as delayed type hypersensitivity. Whereas use of metals as biomaterials is increasing depending on progression of medical technology, patients of metal allergy are also increasing. Mechanisms of metal allergy are under investigation, because identification of antigen presenting cells, effector T cells and antigen peptides of metal allergy have not been carried out comprehensively. Therefore, treatment of metal allergy is only alleviation of inflammation by administration of steroid. In this study, identification of T cell receptor and antigen peptide of metal allergy was focused for development of theoretical basis about prevention and diagnosis for metal allergy.
