Test animals / tissue source

Species:
other: The EpiOcularTM model (OCL-200) is a three-dimensional non-keratinized tissue construct composed of normal human derived epidermal keratinocytes used to model the human corneal epithelium
Strain:
other: not applicable
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
The EpiOcularTM model (OCL-200) is a three-dimensional non-keratinized tissue construct composed of normal human derived epidermal keratinocytes used to model the human corneal epithelium. The EpiOcularTM tissues (surface 0.6 cm²) are cultured on especially prepared cell culture inserts (MILLICELLs, 10 mm ∅) and are commercially available as kits (EpiOcular™ 200), containing 24 tissues on shipping agarose.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: No control animals because Human skin model. Negative and positive control were used in this test.
Amount / concentration applied:
50 µL of the test item
Duration of treatment / exposure:
6 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
not applicable
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
other: 2 EpiOcular tissue samples were incubated with the test substance
Details on study design:
Treatment
Time: 6 hours
Rinsing: At the end of the treatment time, the test item was removed by rinsing the tissues 3 times in each of three beakers filled with PBS (Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline).

MTT Assay
A volume of 300 µL of the MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide solution) was added.
Incubation period: 3 hours
Extractant solution: Isopropanol

OD reading: The optical density at a wavelength of 570 nm (OD570) of the extracts was determined spectrophotometrically.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
In tissues that have been treated with the test substance, a yellowish discoloration was noticed after the washing procedure. Due to the ability of the test substance to reduce MTT directly, KC tissues were applied in parallel. The results of the KC tissues indicate an increased MTT reduction (mean viability 10.7 % of NC). Thus for the test substance the final mean viability is given after KC correction.
