| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Metal is used as a component of biomaterials in dental care, because metal has stiffness, elasticity, and ductility. In dental care, the metal is frequently used as a part of denture, an implant and restoration. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying metal inflammation and metal allergy have not been understood. In this study, we examined the molecular mechanism of development for metal allergy and inflammation by focusing NK cells and NK receptors. We found that NKG2D, a NK activating receptor, is expressed on CD8+T cells are involved in metal allergy.
