Biomedical photonics have identified targets of haptenation in human skin
Our work has been highlighted in Current Optinion in Immunology by Stefan F. Martin.
The first in vivo targets of haptenation in human skin were identified in an elegant study. Caged fluorescent haptens, thiol reactive bromobimanes, were used to detect target proteins in full thickness human skin 20 h after application using two photon fluorescence microscopy [Simonsson et al, 2011].
