MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: grouping
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: ear swelling

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION: The test item in the formulation or the vehicle were applied epicutaneously onto the dorsal part of both ears of the animals. This treatment was repeated on three consecutive days (d1, d2, d3).

Positive control substance(s):

hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Results and discussion

In vivo (LLNA)

Results

Results 1

Parameter:

SI

Remarks on result:

other: see Remark

Remarks:

The stimulation index of 1.4 was never reached in one of the test groups. The values for the cell count index, ear swelling, direct LLNA and ear weight were not elevated in any of these parameters. Therefore, a skin sensitization potential could be excluded for the test item.

Results 2

Parameter:

other: disintegrations per minute (DPM)

Remarks on result:

other: see Remark

Remarks:

The test was performed as an IMDS assay. The IMDS assay (IMDS = Integrated Model for Differentiation of Skin Reactions) does not use radioactive labelling for assaying the lymph node response. By comparing the specific immune reaction induced by the test item in the draining lymph nodes (LN, cell counts/LN weights) with the immediate unspecific acute skin reaction (ear swelling/ear weight) it is possible to discriminate the irritant potential from the sensitizing potential of the compound tested.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under the test conditions the test item did not induce sensitization.

Executive summary:

The test item was investigated by dermal application in accordance with OECD guideline 429 in female NMRI mice. It had no sensitization potential up to and including the test concentration of 50%.
