In vitro primary sensitization of hapten‐specific T cells by cultured human epidermal Langerhans cells—a screening predictive assay for contact sensitizers

Background The need to develop predictive tests which could identify potential allergens has been recognized for many years. There is as yet no accepted in vitro method for the assessment of contact sensitizers.
