Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Sensitizer
Conclusions:
5 animals showed slightly greater degree of erythema than control animals. Five of ten animals induced with the test material in Freund's Adjuvant responded to challenge with a slightly greater degree of erythema than seen in animals previously injected with Freund's Adjuvant only.
Based on these observations, the test chemical was considered to be sensitizing to guinea pig skin.
Executive summary:

Guinea pig Maximization assay was performed to determine the degree of dermal sensitization caused by the test chemical. 10 female Hartley guinea pigs were used for the study.

During the induction phase,the test chemical in Freund's Adjuvant was injected into the skin of guinea pigs, then 1% of the test material was applied onto the skin.Negative control was also used (name not specified). After few days, the induced guinea pigs were challenged with 1% test chemical and observed for signs of erythema.

5 animals showed slightly greater degree of erythema than control animals. Five of ten animals induced with the test material in Freund's Adjuvant responded to challenge with a slightly greater degree of erythema than seen in animals previously injected with Freund's Adjuvant only.

Based on these observations, the test chemical was considered to be sensitizing to guinea pig skin.
