a

Patient no. refers to allergic contact dermatitis patients no. ACD1–19

b

Race: A, Asian; AA, African–American; W, white (caucasian).

c

Patch test scoring system: 0 = negative; + = erythema, some induration (low-level reaction); ++ = erythema, spreading and more marked induration (moderate reaction); +++ = erythema, marked induration, and blisters (extreme reaction).

d

Studies refers to PCR(real-time polymerase chainreaction), ICC (immunocytochemistry), ELISA (studies on culture supernatants from allergen-stimulated lymphocytes).
