Research Abstract

The precise roles of T helper(Th) 1-type and Th2-type cytokine responses in nickel(Ni)-induced allergic contact dermatitis have not yet been clearly defined. We investigated the involvement of Th2 cytokines in Ni-induced contact hypersensitivity reaction using GATA-3 transgenic(Tg) mice. We confirmed the participation of Th2-type immune reactions in Ni-induced allergy using GATA-3 Tg mice.
