The purpose of this study is the interaction between immune function of the hand surface and commensal bacteria. Hand washing samples from 27 volunteers were harvested before and after hand washing (water hand washing or hand washing with liquid soap). The samples were assumed including bacteria and immune substances like cytokine and immune globulin from hand. Regards to pre-examination, these sample were assayed about 5 immune materials, the 3 material; Immune globulin, IL-1a and IL-1b were detected. These values were varied in individual, laterality and kind of hand washing. These samples were assayed about inhibition of coagulase negative Staphylococcus spp. growth. But inhibition effect was not detected clearly.
