- Title
Softisan--a new vehicle for patch testing.

- Abstract
Petrolatum is a good vehicle for many patch test allergens, because it is stable, unreactive, and allergy to it is rare (1, 2). Some difficulties exist, however, when water-soluble allergens are tested, because emulsifiers are often needed; these can change the properties of both the test material and the vehicle itself (3, 4). In the present study, we compared petrolatum with a new lanolin substitute based on vegetable laity acids as a patch test vehicle for nickel sulphate.
