Detection of the mechanism of immunotoxicity of cyclosporine A in murine in vitro and in vivo modelsSchmeits, P.C.J. (author), Schaap, M.M. (author), Luijten, M. (author), van Someren, E. (author), Boorsma, A. (author), van Loveren, H. (author), Peijnenburg, A.A.C.M. (author), Hendriksen, P.J.M. (author)Transcriptomics in combination with in vitro cell systems is a powerful approach to unravel modes of action of toxicants. An important question is to which extent the modes of action as revealed by transcriptomics depend on cell type, species and study type (in vitro or in vivo). To acquire more insight into this, we assessed the transcriptomic...article 2015

van der Veen, J.W. (author), Soeteman-Hernández, L.G. (author), Ezendam, J. (author), Stierum, R. (author), Kuper, F.C. (author), van Loveren, H. (author)Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a hypersensitivity immune response induced by small protein-reactive chemicals. Currently, the murine local lymph node assay (LLNA) provides hazard identification and quantitative estimation of sensitizing potency. Given the complexity of ACD, a single alternative method cannot replace the LLNA, but it is...article 2014

(author)Respiratory sensitization provides a case study for a new approach to chemical safety evaluation, as the prevalence of respiratory sensitization has increased considerably over the last decades, but animal and/or human experimental/predictive models are not currently available. Therefore, the goal of a working group was to design a road map to...article 2011

(author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)Many chemicals can induce allergic contact dermatitis. Because evaluation of skin sensitizing potential by animal testing is prohibited for cosmetics, and screening of many chemicals is required within Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals, urgent need exists for predictive in vitro assays to identify contact...article 2010
