non-transformed keratinocytes
Cell source:
other: reconstructed
Details on animal used as source of test system:
SOURCE ANIMAL
- Source: EpidermTM tissues from MatTek Corporation.
Justification for test system used:
The test systetm (non-transformed human-derived epidermal keratinocytes cultured to form a complex model of the human epidermis) was validated and approved by regulatory authorities for evaluation of skin irritation potential.
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on test system:
RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: EpidermTM tissues

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: 37.2oC
- Temperature of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
-Volume and number of washing steps: tissues were rinsed with sterile DPBS by filling and emptying the tissue insert at least 15 times to remove any residual test material.

MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 1 mg/mL
- Incubation time: 3 hours
- Spectrophotometer: in 96-well plate
- Wavelength: 570 nm

NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 3 replicates in each group

CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE
- Fresh tissues / killed tissues
- Procedure used to prepare the killed tissues (if applicable):
- N. of replicates : 3
- Method of calculation used:

NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT TEST SEQUENCES / EXPERIMENTS TO DERIVE FINAL PREDICTION: 1

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA (choose relevant statement)
- The test substance is considered to be irritating to skin if the viability after 1 hour exposure is less than or equal to 50%.
- The test substance is considered to be non-irritating to skin if the viability after 1 hour exposure is greater than 50%.
Control samples:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, TMSBr is considered a non-irritant.
Executive summary:
