In vitro co-culture model of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells and T cells to evaluate the sensitization of dinitrochlorobenzene

Exposure to sensitizer has been suggested to be hazardous to human health, evaluation the sensitization of sensitizer is particularly important and urgently needed.Dendritic cells (DCs) exert an irreplaceable function in immunity, and the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire is key to ensuring immune response to foreign antigens.We hypothesized that a
