    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Dermatology

    Context:

    • Assessing delayed cellular hypersensitivity is crucial for immune system evaluation.
    • Current methods for skin testing can be subjective.
    • A need exists for standardized and objective hypersensitivity assessment tools.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce a novel disposable device for skin testing of delayed cellular hypersensitivity.
    • To propose an objective scoring system for evaluating skin test reactions.
    • To report findings from a multicenter study validating the device and scoring system.

    Summary:

    • A disposable skin test device utilizing 7 antigens and a glycerin control was developed.
    • An objective scoring system was established, considering the number and degree of positive reactions.
    • A multicenter study involving 830 healthy subjects demonstrated the device's utility and the scoring system's effectiveness, categorizing participants into four response groups.
