Suppressive effects of topical nanocrystalline silver in allergic contact dermatitis in mice
by Nucryst Pharmaceuticals Corp.
This white paper by Nucryst Pharmaceuticals assesses the anti-inflammatory effects of topical nanocrystalline silver using a mouse model of allergic contact dermatitis and studies the possible mechanisms underlying this activity. It also describes how nanocrystalline silver induces apoptosis of inflammatory cells, and suppresses IL-12 and TNF-αexpression, which may be among the mechanisms by which nanocrystalline silver exerts its suppressive effects against inflammation in this model.
