The human Cell Line Activation Test (h-CLAT), an in vitro skin sensitization test, is based on the augmentation of CD86 and CD54 expression in THP-1 cells following exposure to chemicals. The h-CLAT was found to be capable of determining the hazard of skin sensitization. In contrast, the local lymph node assay (LLNA), widely used as a stand-alone method in Europe and US, identifies the same hazard, but also classifies the potency by using the estimated concentration of SI=3 (EC3). In this study, several values calculated from the h-CLAT data were evaluated for its correlation to the LLNA EC3 determination. A statistically significant correlation was observed between h-CLAT concentration providing a cell viability of 75% (CV75), h-CLAT estimated concentration of RFI=150 for CD86 (EC150), and for CD54 (EC200) with LLNA's EC3. From EC150 and EC200, a minimum induction threshold (MIT) was determined as the smaller of either EC150 or EC200. MIT showed a correlation with EC3 (R=0.638). Also, MIT had an approximate 80% accuracy for sub-categories of the globally harmonized system (GHS) when a tentative threshold of 13 μg/mL was used. From these data, the h-CLAT values may be one of the useful tools to predict the allergic potency of chemicals.
人类细胞系激活试验(h-CLAT)是一种体外皮肤致敏试验,基于接触化学物质后 THP-1 细胞中 CD86 和 CD54 表达的增强。h-CLAT 被发现能够确定皮肤致敏的危害。相比之下,局部淋巴结试验(LLNA)广泛用于欧洲和美国,作为一种独立的方法,可识别相同的危害,但也通过使用估计的 SI=3(EC3)浓度来分类效力。在这项研究中,评估了从 h-CLAT 数据中计算出的几个值与其与 LLNA EC3 测定的相关性。观察到 h-CLAT 浓度提供 75%细胞活力(CV75)、CD86 的 h-CLAT 估计 RFI=150 浓度(EC150)以及 CD54(EC200)与 LLNA 的 EC3 之间存在统计学显著相关性。从 EC150 和 EC200 确定了最小诱导阈值(MIT),MIT 为 EC150 或 EC200 中的较小值。MIT 与 EC3 呈相关性(R=0.638)。此外,当使用暂定阈值为 13 μg/mL 时,MIT 对全球协调系统(GHS)的亚类具有约 80%的准确性。从这些数据中,h-CLAT 值可能是预测化学物质过敏效力的有用工具之一。
