Avoiding contact allergens: from basic research to the in vitro identification of contact allergens | <p>Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a chemical-induced inflammatory skin disease. Contact allergens are low-molecular-weight chemicals that must react with proteins in order to become immunogenic.
