METHODS: We investigated the expression of CD54, CD86, CD83, CD80, and CD40 after a 1-day exposure to sensitizers (1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene; 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene; benzocaine; 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one; hexyl cinnamic aldehyde; eugenol; nickel sulfate hexahydrate; potassium dichromate; cobalt sulfate; 2-mercaptobenzothiazole; and ammonium tetrachloroplatinate) and non-sensitizers (sodium lauryl sulfate, benzalkonium chloride, lactic acid, salicylic acid, isopropanol, and dimethyl sulphoxide).

The sensitizers NiSO (4), dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB), 2,4,6 trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS), alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde (Cinn) and eugenol (Eu) induced the up-regulation of the co-stimulatory molecule CD86, of intercellular adhesion molecule CD54 and of the HLA-DR antigen.

Indeed, all tested allergens, except eugenol (EU), caused significant increased changes in at least four of the analyzed six markers, while non-allergens did not induce any changes.
We have previously shown that THP-1 cells, human acute monocytic leukemia cell line, can discriminate between allergens and irritants by measuring expression of surface markers, CD86 and CD54, following chemical exposure.

Sensitizers such as dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB), 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), eugenol, p-phenylenediamine (PPDA) and ammonium tetrachloroplatinate (Pt) enhanced CD86 expression on THP-1 cells, while nickel sulfate, cobalt sulfate and irritants such as methylsalicylate (MS), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) did not augment CD86 expression.

DCrc showed a dose-dependent upregulation of CD86 after treatment with the contact allergens 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid, the prohapten isoeugenol, and alpha-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde.

Arch Dermatol Res. 2002 May;294(3):109-16. Epub 2002 Apr 9.

The aim of this study was to determine the state of maturation/activation of both populations after exposure to several concentrations of four well-established model allergens (nickel sulfate, eugenol, alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid) or the irritant sodium dodecyl sulfate.
We analyzed the surface expression of CD86, CD83 and HLA-DR and the production of IL-1beta.

However, all skin sensitizers caused an up-regulation of the co-stimulatory molecule CD86, of intercellular adhesion molecule CD54 and of the HLA-DR antigen.
The sensitizers NiSO (4), dinitrochlorobenzene, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid, alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde and eugenol were applied.

The resulting cells exhibited the phenotype of mature DC, as assessed by the strong expression of HLA-DR, CD80, CD83 and CD86 antigens.
The prohaptens eugenol and isoeugenol induced significant proliferation in one out of eight and in four out of 12 experiments, respectively.
