  2. 1. Limonene Hydroperoxides in Allergic Contact Dermatitis. Radical Formation, Sensitizing Capacity and Immunogenic Complex Formation

    Author : Staffan Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; allergic contact dermatitis; contact allergy; immunogenic complex; limonene hydroperoxides; local lymph node assay; patch testing; radicals; sensitizing capacity; skin;

    Abstract : Contact allergy to fragrance compounds is an increasing problem in the western countries today. R-Limonene is one of the most common fragrance compounds; it is used in hygiene products and cosmetics as well as in industrial products such as hand cleansers and degreasers. READ MORE

  4. 2. Allergenic Oxidation Products from Fragrance Terpenes. Chemical Analysis and Determination of Sensitizing Potency

    Author : Johanna Rudbäck; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Autoxidation; Contact allergy; Essential oils; Fragrances; Hydroperoxides; Ionization techniques; Mass spectrometry; Prehapten; Sensitization; Skin; Structure-activity relationships; Terpenes;

    Abstract : The ubiquitous presence of fragrance compounds in consumer products has resulted in a high frequency of contact allergy to fragrances in the population. For prevention purposes and according to EU regulations, cosmetics must be labeled when containing the most prominent fragrance allergens in concentrations exceeding 0. READ MORE

  5. 3. Analysis and characterization of chemo- and radiation therapy sensitizing strategies in tumours with focus on effects of phenothiazines on DNA damage response signalling

    Author : Katarzyna Zielinska-Chomej; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cancer is, despite rapid progress in development of new targeted therapies, still mainly treated with surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. The last two mentioned conventional therapies often meet general obstacles such as normal cell toxicity and tumour cell resistance. READ MORE

  6. 4. GARD – Genomic Allergen Rapid Detection : From Biomarker Discovery towards a State-of-the-art Testing Platform for Chemical Sensitizers

    Author : Andy Forreryd; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : In vitro assay; skin sensitization; respiratory sensitization; predictive biomarker signatures; in vitro test; hudsensibilisering; luftvägssensibilisering; biomarkörsignaturer;

    Abstract : Chemical hypersensitivity reactions induced in the skin or in the respiratory tract are important health concerns and develops following repeated exposure to certain chemicals, termed sensitizers. To prevent such hazardous compounds from entering the consumer market, legal frameworks within EU require chemicals to be tested for their capacity to induce hypersensitivity. READ MORE

  7. 5. Formation of Skin Sensitizers from Fragrance Terpenes via Oxidative Activation Routes. Chemical analysis, Structure Elucidation and Experimental Sensitization Studies

    Author : Lina Hagvall; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The work presented in this thesis emphasizes the importance of considering oxidative activation in the toxicity assessment of fragrance chemicals. Compounds without contact allergenic properties can be activated either via autoxidation in contact with air or via cutaneous metabolism to reactive products which can cause contact allergy. READ MORE
