MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method:
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: SI >= 3
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Induction (Days 1,2,3):
Experimental animals:
The dorsum surface of both ears was epidermally treated (25μl/ear) with the test substance concentration, at approximately the same time each day.
Vehicle control animals:
The control animals were treated the same as the experimental animals, except that, instead of the test substance, the vehicle alone was administered.
Treatment Day 6:
All animals; Each animal was injected via the tail vein with 0.25ml of sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 20μCi of 3H-methyl thymidine.
After approximately five hours, all animals were killed by intr peritoneal injection with an overdose of pentobarbital. The draining lymph node of each ear was excised. The relative size of the nodes was estimated by visual examination and abnormalities of the nodes were recorded. The nodes were pooled for each animal in 3ml PBS. - Statistics:
- If possible an EC3 value was determined, using linear interpolation

- other: MEAN DPM/animal values were 1181, 2020 and 471 for resp. 5, 25 and 50% test substance respectively
Any other information on results incl. tables
Induction phase: No irritation was observed in any of the animals examined.
Macroscopy: The majority of nodes were equal in size, except for the nodes of some animals of the 5% and 25% groups. No other macroscopic abnormalities of the nodes were noted.
Body weights: Body weights and body weight gain of experimental animals remained in the same range as controls over the study period. The slight body weight loss, noted in some animals, was considered not toxicologically significant.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- The SI values calculated for the substance concentrations 5, 25 and 50% were 8.8, 15.0 and 3.5 respectively. These data showed a dose-response and it was considered that there is sufficient evidence that the substance elicts a SI >=3. No EC value could be calculated.
Based on these results and according to the recomendations made in the test guidelines, PBB-MA should be regarded as a skin sensitizer. - Executive summary:
Test substance concentration selected for the main study were based on the results of a preliminary study. In the main study, three groups of five experimental animals were epidermally exposed to a 5%, 25% and 50% concentration respectively on three consecutive days. Five vehicle control animals were similarly treated, but with vehicle alone (acetone/olive oil (4:1 v/v).
Three days after the last exposure, all animals were injected with H-methyl thymidine and after five hours the draining (auricular) lymph nodes were excised.
After precipitating the DNA of the lymph node cells, radioactivity measurements were done.
The majority of nodes were equal in size, except for the nodes of some animals of the 5% and 25% groups.
Mean DPM/animal values for the experimental groups treated with test substance concentrations 5, 25 and 50% were 1181, 2020 and 471 respectively. The mean DPM/animal value for the vehicle control group was 135.
The SI values calculated for the susbtance concentrations 5, 25 and 50% were 8.8, 15.0 and 3.5 resp.
These data showed a dose-response and it was considered that there is sufficient evidence that the substance elicts a SI>=3. No EC3 value could be calculated.
Based on OECD 429, EC B.42 and OPPTS 870.2600, PBB-MA should be regarded as a skin sensitiser.
