Introduction of skin sensitization:
Skin sensitization is an important industrial disease. Sensitization of workers and consumers is a major problem for individuals, employers and for marketing certain products. In western world, 15-20% of the populations are allergic to one or more chemicals in their environment.1 Skin sensitization are reactive toxicity end point.
Skin sensitization is caused by very wide range of chemicals. Skin sensitization is an immune reaction to small exogenous molecules with the ability to chemically modify skin proteins.2 Skin sensitizers are reacting on the surface of skin proteins of human or animal. The proteins modified with the chemicals are then recognized by the immune system as foreign particle and trigger a specific T-cell mediated immune response leading to the disease status known as contact allergy. A key step in this process is that covalent adduct between skin sensitizers and endogenous protein or peptide in the skin.2 In the immune system of body there is large chain of protein molecules, that protein part is known as epitopes. Epitopes are reacting as receptor in the skin and sensitizers are binding to modify the skin.3
Mainly, skin

    Causes of the delayed hypersensitivity reactions are anything that changes the body’s normal function. When skin comes in contact with poison ivy, a chemical known as Urushiol is left on the skin. Once absorbed into the blood stream by the skin, antigen-presenting cells, called Langerhans cells in the skin, or macrophages present the antigen to the immune system. From there the T cells recognize the antigen as a foreign body. In response, the T cells send out inflammatory signal cells called cytokines. At that point the cytokines trigger the monocytes which then become macrophages. The macrophages become activated by the cytokine and begin to attack any tissue in its general vicinity. This could lead to severe tissue damage. (Martz, n.d.)…

    Our skin is the most delicate part of our body. We should always make the best choice for our skin when it comes to picking out the skincare products. Certain harmful chemicals present in the skincare products can react badly on the skin and cause inflammations, allergies, acne and so forth. Their usage over the time may do irreversible damage to the skin by accelerating the aging process and causing fine lines, wrinkles, crow's feet, etc,.…

    *Poison Ivy- The body's immune system is normally in the business­ of protecting us from bacteria, viruses, and other foreign invaders that can make us sick. But when urushiol from the poison ivy plant touches the skin, it instigates an immune response, called dermatitis, to what would otherwise be a harmless substance. Hay fever is another example of this type of response; in the case of hay fever, the immune system overreacts to pollen, or another plant-produced substance.…

    Type 1 Hypersensitivity is a reaction that involves many parts of the body, for instance, the skin, eyes, nasopharynx, bronchopulmonary tissue, and the gastrointestinal tract. This reaction may cause a range of minor symptoms to fatality. Common manifestations that may possibly occur during Type 1 Hypersensitivity are rhinitis, asthma, atopic eczema, bee-sting reaction, and gastroenteritis. IgE, released from B cells, is an antibody that mediates hypersensitivity and arms mast cells, which exhibit as the principal component cell of this reaction in the body. The exposure of an allergen in an individual causes plasma B cells to produce the antibody IgE which circulates in small amount in the blood. Immunoglobulin E binds to the IgE receptors on mast cells which ultimately produces IgE antigen-binding sites on the surface of the mast cell. After the exposure of the mast cell with crosslinking of IgE-Fc receptors to an antigen, degranulation results and mediators are released causing signs of inflammation (Copstead & Banasik, 2010, pp. 227-228).…

    The skin provides the first line of defense between the body 's interior and harmful environmental insults by well-established physical and biochemical mechanisms. Physical protection mechanisms include the relatively impermeable barrier the skin provides. The skin can, to some extent, repel and absorb insults such as chemicals and ultraviolet light so that while the skin may be damaged, the underlying tissue is preserved. Biochemical mechanisms include the innate and acquired immune systems. The continuous mutilation, however disables the tissues to redevelop and will lead to the skin deterioration.…

    African-American, or Black, hair is very diverse. It ranges from extremely thin and straight, to extremely thick and curly. Throughout history, it could be seen as a gift and a curse. Hair in previous and modern times is seen as a sign of beauty, but all races are not always treated equally. Problems with identity and the struggle to conform caused many African-Americans to be ashamed of what they were born with. Even today, evidence of the struggles are still present. In the project we hope to learn how the views and opinions have changed throughout history. We would also like to educate others about African-American hair and inform them on the common misconceptions.…

    The same thing happens in the immune system of the body when an individual is having an allergic reaction to drugs, insect bites, and substance contact. Any drug can cause an allergic reaction but the most common has been noted on antibiotics intake. Insect bites such as bee and wasp stings cause a release of its venom in the body. Some individuals are sensitive enough to have an allergic reaction due to this. Also, there are some individuals that have allergic reaction when their skin has had a contact with a substance.…
