Description of key information
In a LLNA the test item suspended in ethanol:deionised water (7 +3) was assessed for its possible contact allergenic potential. For this purpose a local lymph node assay was performed using test item concentrations of 5, 10 and 20 %. The animals did not show any clinical signs during the course of the study and no cases of mortality were observed. In this study Stimulation Indices (S. I.) of 1.2, 1.0 and 1.5 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 5, 10 and 20 % (w/v) in ethanol:deionised water (7 +3), respectively. The test item was not a skin sensitiser in this assay.

- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Test Item Preparation:
The test item was placed into a volumetric flask glass beaker on a tared balance and the vehicle (ethanol:deionised water (7+3)) was quantitatively added. The test item was sonicated for at least 45 minutes until a homogeneous suspension was achieved. The test item concentrations were prepared individually. Homogeneity of the test item in the vehicle was maintained during treatment with the magnetic stirrer. The preparations were made freshly before each dosing occasion. To determine the highest non-irritant test concentration or the highest technically applicable concentration, a non-GLP pretest (non GLP-study 881506) was performed in two mice. The data showed that the highest test item concentration, which could be technically used was a 20 % suspension. Even warming and sonicating could not achieve a higher concentration. In other vehicles used, e.g. acetone : olive oil (4+1), DMF, DMSO or propylene glycol, higher concentrations could also not be achieved. At the concentration of 20 % the treated mouse did not show any signs of irritation. The test item in the main study was, therefore, assayed at 5, 10 and 20 % (w/v). - Species:

- Each test group of mice was treated by topical (epidermal) application to the dorsal surface of each ear lobe (left and right) with different test item concentrations of 5, 10 and 20% (w/v) in ethanol:deionised water (7+3). The application volume, 25 μl, was spread over the entire dorsal surface (diameter ca. 8 mm) of each ear lobe once daily for three consecutive days. A further group of mice was treated with an equivalent volume of the relevant vehicle alone (control animals).
- No. of animals per dose:
- 5 animals per group per dose
- Details on study design:
- Administration of 3H-Methyl Thymidine:
3H-methyl thymidine (3HTdR) was purchased from Amersham International (Amersham product code no. TRA 310; specific activity, 2 Ci/mmol; concentration, 1 mCi/ml). Five days after the first topical application, all mice were administered with 250 μl of 79.3 μCi/ml 3HTdR (corresponds to 19.825 μCi 3HTdR per mouse) by intravenous injection via a tail vein.
Determination of Incorporated 3HTdR:
Approximately five hours after treatment with 3HTdR all mice were euthanised by intraperitoneal injection of Na-thiopental (Trapanal, Altana, D-78467 Konstanz). The draining lymph nodes were rapidly excised and pooled per animal (2 nodes per animal). Single cell suspensions (in phosphate buffered saline) of pooled lymph node cells were prepared by gentle mechanical disaggregation through stainless steel gauze (200 μm mesh size). After washing two times with phosphate buffered saline (approx. 10 ml) the lymph node cells were resuspended in 5 % trichloroacetic acid (approx. 3 ml) and incubated at approximately +4 °C for at least 18 hours for precipitation of macromolecules.
The precipitates were then resuspended in 5 % trichloroacetic acid (1 ml) and transferred to glass scintillation vials with 10 ml of ‘Ultima Gold’ scintillation liquid and thoroughly mixed. The level of 3HTdR incorporation was then measured on a β-scintillation counter. Similarly, background 3HTdR levels were also measured in two 1ml-aliquots of 5 % trichloroacetic acid. The β-scintillation counter expresses 3HTdR incorporation as the number of radioactive disintegrations per minute (DPM).
Interpretation of Raw Data:
The proliferative response of lymph node cells is expressed as the number of radioactive disintegrations per minute per lymph node (DPM/node) and as the ratio of 3HTdR incorporated into lymph node cells of test lymph nodes relative to that recorded for control lymph nodes (stimulation index). Before DPM/node values were determined, mean scintillation-background DPM was subtracted from test and control raw data.
A test item is regarded as a sensitiser in the LLNA if the following criteria are fulfilled:
- First, that exposure to at least one concentration of the test item resulted in an incorporation of 3HTdR at least 3-fold or greater than that recorded in control mice, as indicated by the stimulation index.
- Second, that the data are compatible with a conventional dose response, although allowance must be made (especially at high topical concentrations) for either local toxicity or immunological suppression.
The decision to select a STIMULATION INDEX (S.I.) of 3 as an arbitrary indication of sensitizing activity was made on the basis of investigations performed with a wide range of chemicals.
Observations:
In addition to the sensitising reactions the following observations and data were recorded during the test and observation period:
Mortality / Viability once daily (week day) from experimental start tonecropsy.
Body weights prior to the first application and prior to treatment with 3HTdR.

Justification for classification or non-classification
Licolub FA 6 did not show skin sensitizing properties in the Local Lymph Node Assay according to the current OECD guidelines. Allergic skin reactions or case reports of acute contact dermatitis to Licolub FA 6 have not been described in the literature. Therefore, the substance does not have to be classified as a skin sensitizer.
