Test animals / tissue source
- Species:
- other: Bos primigenius Taurus (fresh bovine corneas)
- Strain:
- not specified
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- Fresh bovine eyes were obtained from the slaughterhouse Müller Fleisch GmbH, Enzstr. 2-4, 75217 Birkenfeld, Germany, on the day of the test. The cattle were between 12 and 60 months old. The eyes were transported to the test facility in Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution with 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin solution (Penicillin 100 U/mL, Streptomycin 100 µg/mL) in a suitable cooled container within 1 hour 30 minutes.
Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- yes, concurrent positive control
- yes, concurrent negative control
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 750 µL
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 10 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C
- Duration of post- treatment incubation (in vitro):
- 2 hours at 32 ± 1 °C
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3
- Details on study design:
- After the initial incubation, the medium was changed and the baseline opacity for each cornea was recorded. None of the corneas showed tissue damage; therefore, all corneas were used. For each treatment group (negative control solution, test item and positive control), three replicates were used. After removal of the pre-incubation medium (cMEM without phenol red), 750 µL negative control solution, test item and positive control were applied to each replicate.
According to the characteristics of the test item, the following treatment procedure was performed:
7.3.1 Closed Chamber Method
The respective substance (negative control solution, test item or positive control) was ap-plied by pipetting 750 µL of the appropriate liquid through the refill hole in the holder on the cornea. The test item was given on the epithelium in such a manner that as much as possible of the cornea was covered with the test item.
Exposure time of the test item on the corneas was 10 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C. After thorough rinsing with cMEM with phenol red and final rinsing with cMEM without phenol red, the anterior chamber was filled with cMEM without phenol red, and the corneas were stored for additional 2 hours at 32 ± 1 °C (post-incubation).
After post-incubation time, the cMEM without phenol red was renewed in both chambers. Then, the final opacity value of each cornea was recorded.
7.3.2 Permeability Test
After the recording of the final opacity value, the cMEM without phenol red was removed from the front chamber, and 1 mL sodium fluorescein solution was added to the front chamber for the detection of permeability of the corneas.
For the closed chamber method, a sodium fluorescein solution with a concentration of 4 mg/mL was used.
The chambers were then closed again and incubated for 90 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C. After incubation, the content of the posterior chamber was thoroughly mixed. Then, its optical density at 492 nm was measured with the microtiter plate photometer.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Conclusions:
- According to OECD Guideline no. 437 (Oct. 2017), a substance with an IVIS > 3 and ≤ 55 induces effects on the cornea, that cannot be classified in an UN GHS Category with the BCOP test only. In this case no prediction can be made.
