Abstract
In spite of the non-specific mitogenic effect of nickel salts,3H-thymidine uptake ratio (TUR) of nickel-stimulated lymphocyte cultures in nickel-sensitive atopic dermatitis patients and in non-atopic nickel-sensitive patients was significantly higher at 10 µg per ml concentration of nickel salts than in nickel non sensitive subjects (P < 0.001). A significant difference was also demonstrated at concentrations of nickel salts of 40 µg per ml. The TUR value of nickel-stimulated cultures in nickel-sensitive atopic dermatitis patients tended to decrease in comparison to non-atopic nickel-sensitive patients. Furthermore, the TUR of phytohemagglutinin-p (PHA) stimulated cultures was also lower in atopic dermatitis patients than in non-atopic subjects. Trotz der unspezifischen Mitogenität von Nickelsalzen in der Lymphocyten-Kultur, war die3H-Thymidin-Einbaurate (TUR) nickelstimulierter Lymphocyten-Kulturen bei Nickelallergikern mit und ohne atopischer Dermatitis bei einer Nickelsalzkonzentration von 10 µg bzw. 40 µg/ml signifikant höher als bei Kontrollpersonen ohne Nickelallergie (P < 0.001). Die TUR in nickelstimulierten Kulturen von nickelallergischen Atopikern war etwas geringer als bei Nicht-Atopikern mit Nickelallergie. Weiterhin war die TUR in Phytohämagglutinin-stimulierten Kulturen niedriger bei Patienten mit atopischer Dermatitis als bei Nicht-Atopikern.Keywords
