| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a process for in vitro evaluation of a potentially allergenic or tissue irritating substance whereby test cells are cultivated in the presence of the substance, and the presence of up regulated genes chosen from MT1G, MT1B;MT1A, MT1E, MT1F, MT1H, or expression products from them are measured. The invention also regards use of the expression products from one or more of the genes for in vitro analysis of allergy or tissue irritation. It also relates to a probe comprising at least three nucleic acids, preferably 3 - 40, especially 5 - 15 chosen from RNA complementary to the RNA corresponding to any of the genes and the use thereof for in vitro analysis of allergy or tissue irritation. Further it regards a reagent kit comprising one or more probes that recognize products produced during the expression of any the genes.
