ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: LLNA

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION: Mice exposed topically on dorsum of both ears to 25 µL test material or an equal volumen of acetone:olive oil alone daily for 3 days. Five days after first exposure mice injected intravenously into tail vein with H-3 thymidine in PBS. After 5 hours the mice were sacrificed, the lymph notes were excised and pooled. A single cell suspension was prepared, washed and precipitatide with 5 % TCDA. Incorporation of H-3 thymidine was counted as dpm per node per group, compared to controls and was recorded as the stimulation index (SI).
Positive control substance(s):
other: oxazolone, TMA, DCNB
