Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:
acetone/olive oil (4:1 v/v)
Concentration:
0, 25, 50 or 100% v/v
No. of animals per dose:
1 per concentration preliminary screening test
5 per concentration main test
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Two mice, 1 per concentration, were treated by daily application of 25 µl of the undiluted test material or the test material at a concentration of 50% v/v in vehicle, to the dorsal surface of each ear for 3 consecutive days. Any signs of toxicity or excessive local irritation noted during this period were recorded.

MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Skin Sensitisation: Local Lymph Node Assay
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: at least 1 concentration results in a threefold or greater increase in 3HTdR incorporation into lymph node cells of test nodes compared to control values.

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Groups of 5 mice treated by daily application of 25 µl of the appropriate concentration of test material to the dorsal surface of each ear for 3 consecutive days, administered using an automatic micropipette and spread over the dorsal surface of the ear using the tip of the pipette. A further group of 5 mice received the vehicle alone in the same manner.
Statistics:
Individual and group mean disintegrations per minute values were assessed for dose response relationships by analysis of homogeneity of variance followed by one way analysis of variance (ANOVA). In the event of a significant result from the ANOVA, pairwise comparisons were performed between control and treated groups. For homogenous datasets Dunnett's Multiple Comparison test was used and for non-homogenous datasets Dunnett's T3 Multiple Comparison Method was used.
