IMMUNE REACTIVITY

IMMUNE REACTIVITY

Rachmawati et al. (2015)
Investigated dental metal-induced innate reactivity in keratinocytes.

Abstract:

Gold, nickel, copper and mercury, i.e. four metals frequently used in dental applications, were explored for their capacity to induce innate immune activation in keratinocytes (KC). Due to their anatomical location the latter epithelial cells are key in primary local irritative responses of skin and mucosa. Fresh foreskin-derived keratinocytes and skin and gingiva KC cell lines were studied for IL-8 release as a most sensitive parameter for NF-kB activation.
