Allergic contact dermatitis is a complex syndrome and knowledge about the in vitro detection of small-molecular-weight compounds, particularly prohaptens, is limited. Therefore, we investigated chemical-induced gene expression changes in human antigen-presenting cells upon stimulation with immunogenic contact allergens, prohaptens and
