Abstract
This present invention provides a method of predicting immunogenicity and hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to chemical compounds, therapeutics, cosmetics and other chemical compositions. The method uses an in vitro assay employing autologous blood derived cells and an autologous cultured skin biopsy and is of particular utility in the identification and prediction of skin sensitizers that cause allergic contact dermatitis.
