This MIE has been successfully exploited in the development of <jats:italic>in chemico<\/jats:italic> peptide reactivity assays, with the Direct Peptide Reactivity Assay (DPRA) being validated as a screening tool for skin sensitization hazard as well as an OECD test guideline. This test relies on the use of a high-performance liquid chromatography\/ultraviolet detection method to quantify chemical-peptide conjugation through measurement of the depletion of two synthetic peptides containing lysine or cysteine residues, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. To improve assay throughput, sensitivity, and accuracy, we have developed a spectrophotometric assay for skin sensitization potential based on MIE measurement\u2014the ProtReact assay. ProtReact is also a cheaper, faster, simpler, and more accessible alternative for the DPRA, giving comparable results. A set of 106 chemicals was tested with ProtReact and the peptide depletion values compared with those reported for the DPRA. The predictive capacity of both assays was evaluated with human reference data. ProtReact and DPRA assays show similar predictive capacities for hazard identification (75% and 74%, respectively), although ProtReact showed a higher specificity (86% versus 74%, respectively) and lower sensitivity (69% versus 73%). Overall, the results show that ProtReact assay described here represents an efficient, economic, and accurate assay for the prediction of skin sensitization potential of chemical haptens.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00204-023-03550-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,19]],"date-time":"2023-07-19T13:01:50Z","timestamp":1689771710000},"page":"2441-2451","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Development of an in chemico high-throughput screening method for the identification of skin sensitization potential"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"97","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4934-917X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabel","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3705-673X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gon\u00e7alo","family":"Brites","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4041-0376","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0015-8604","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco","family":"Caramelo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7836-8161","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"B\u00e1rbara","family":"Oliveiros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7391-3124","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bruno Miguel","family":"Neves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9846-6754","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Teresa","family":"Cruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"3550_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"11","DOI":"10.1097\/DER.0000000000000003","volume":"25","author":"DA Basketter","year":"2014","unstructured":"Basketter DA, Al\u00e9p\u00e9e N, Ashikaga T et al (2014) Categorization of chemicals according to their relative human skin sensitizing potency.
