- Sainmhíniú model for delayed-type hypersensitivity that holds promise as a testing protocol for allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). It employs only topical sensitization on the abdomen and does not use injections, adjuvants, anesthesia, occlusion, or disruption of the stratum comeum. Five days after induction, the ears are challenged topically and ear swelling measurements taken at 24,48, and 72 hr indicate the extent of ACD. Tagairt "PETER S. THORNE, CHERYL HAWK, SUSAN D.
