Series Preface Our goal in creating the Dermatology: Clinical & Basic Science Series is to present the insights of experts on emerging applied and experimental techniques and theo- retical concepts that are, or will be, at the vanguard of dermatology. These books cover new and exciting multidisciplinary areas of cutaneous research; and we want them to be the books every physician will use to become acquainted with new methodologies in skin research. These books can be given to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows when they are looking for guidance to start a new line of research. The series consists of books that are edited by experts and that consist of chapters written by the leaders in a particular field. The books are richly illustrated and contain comprehensive bibliographies. Each chapter provides substantial back- ground material relevant to the particular subject. These books contain detailed tricks of the trade and information regarding where the methods presented can be safely applied. In addition, information on where to buy equipment and helpful Web sites for solving both practical and theoretical problems are included. We are working with these goals in mind. As the books become available, the efforts put in by the publisher, book editors, and the individual authors will contribute to the further development of dermatology research and clinical practice. The extent to which we achieve this goal will be determined by the utility of these books. Howard I. Maibach, M.D. Preface From the viewpoint of immunotoxicology, hazards associated with nickel primarily derive from its type-IV immunogenic properties, as it consistently ranks as the premier anthropogenic allergen among the general population in industrialized coun- tries. Thus, immunology of nickel represents the major part of reviews addressing human health aspects of the metal. A comprehensive discussion of nickel immu- nology invariably presents a composite picture consisting of diverse environmental, physiological, and chemical components, and in 1989 a first such mosaic was composed by Maibach and Menné in their book, Nickel and the Skin: Immunology and Toxicology, published by CRC Press. Since then much insight was gained into diverse aspects of nickel’s action in the human organism, mainly concerning the skin and the immune system, and a synoptic presentation of the subject from a somewhat different viewpoint now appears in order. Impetus for this new undertaking came from the Nickel Producers Environmental Research Association (NiPERA), and for most of the chapters Katherine Reagan, toxicologist in that organization, collaborated as author. Subjects that are part of this review deal with the initial event of nickel-containing objects coming in contact with the skin and the formation of soluble, skin-diffusible salts, the phenomenon of skin penetration, induction and elicitation of allergic reactions, diagnosis, tolerance, and epidemiology. The biochemistry of nickel inter- acting with the organism is discussed by Baldassarré Santucci and collaborators, who had investigated and discussed that aspect in several earlier publications. Finally, the metallurgy of nickel and its interaction with other metals in alloys are addressed by Messrs. Flint and Cutler of the Nickel Development Institute. Partial support for the book project was provided by NiPERA. Editors Jurij J. Hostynek´ , Ph.D., currently serves as president of Euromerican Technology Resources, Inc., a Lafayette, California-based company that provides contract research and consulting services to the chemical, personal-care, and health-care industries. He is also an associate specialist at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine. Dr. Hostynek´ earned his Ph.D. in physical organic chemistry at the University of Basel, Switzerland, and conducted postdoctoral research at the University of California, Berkeley. He has published in the fields of physical organic chemistry, toxicology, dermatology, immunology, quantitative structure activity relationships (QSAR), and percutaneous absorption of organic and metallic compounds, and holds U.S. patents in metallurgy, organic synthesis, and cell biology. His current fields of research at UCSF include QSAR, skin permeation, and allergic sensitization potential of chemicals. Howard Maibach, M.D., is a professor of dermatology at the University of
