Abstract: OBJECTIVE: This article introduces a new in vitro human-derived cell line as an alternative method (KeratinoSens assay) of evaluation for delayed-type hypersensitivity to,KeratinoSens assay,and discusses its application in the detection of two medical devices. METHODS: Plasmid pGL4.17-AKR1C2-ARE-SV40 was constructed to transfect the human immortalized keratinocytes HaCaT,and the stablye transfected cell line KeratinoSens was obtained by screening with G418. TheUsing KeratinoSens assaywas used to evaluateprocess sensitizers with different sensitization ranks and non-sensitizers. By calculating the Variabilities of gene activity induction variability ofin the negative control were used to identify cell stability. The data were,compared toing the test results with the sensitization properties of the compounds in the literature,and were used to indicateget the predictability of the sensitization of the cell line. After the successful cell transfection is identified,the KeratinoSens assay wasis used to test the medical devices with more clinical sensitization reports,medical natural latex gloves and nickel-containing metals. RESULTS: The negative control hads a variation of 18.6% which meets the stability requirements,and the synthesized cell hadve good sensitization predictability. KeratinoSens assay rResults fromof the two medical devices were are negative. CONCLUSION: The KeratinoSens was successfully constructed and used to initially applied to medical device testing to provide empirical data for itsthe method to be transformationed into a medical device testing method.
