A person once sensitized to polyisocyanate can demonstrate group reactivity to this set of compounds. b. Individuals having an acute exposure to toluene diisocyanate is more likely to develop hypersensitivity then individuals chronically exposed to low vapor levels. c. A mechanism for this hypersensitivity is the toluene diisocyanate forms a covalent bond with proteins that are part of the airway resulting in the immune system developing a response to “self” proteins. d.
