Dermal Sensitization Test (Mandatory SIAA Test Item)

The objective of this test is to detect delayed allergic reaction (Type IV allergy) by means of a one-time application of the test substance to the skin and allowing it to be absorbed. Immunogenicity is acquired in the body so that T-lymphocytes will recognize it and cause an allergic reaction when they come into contact with the same immunogen again.
