| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we established the first animal model of metal allergy in the oral cavity, and clarified the immunokinetics and changes in oral microflora centered on T cells involved in metal allergy in the oral cavity. In addition, we conducted research with the aim of elucidating the immune response control mechanism from the viewpoint of the relationship between metal-bacterial flora-biological defense system in the oral mucosa by inducing oral immune tolerance, and to become the foundation of a new diagnostic and therapeutic system for metal allergy. In this study, we prepared allergy model mice using Pd, Cr, and Ni metals in the oral mucosa. Specific T cells involved in the development of oral metal allergy were identified, and cross-reactivity was also verified, and conference presentations and papers were presented.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
口腔内での金属アレルギー動物モデルを作製したことで, 金属イオンが耳介部皮膚より経皮的に感作され，口腔内の金属からの溶出された金属イオンと生体内でアレルギー反応を示すことが明らかとなった. さらに口腔内の金属アレルギーには金属交差性も存在しており, とくに自然リンパ球および金属特異的T 細胞が病因・病態に深く関与している事が示唆された.
