- TEST SYSTEM
- The test system (target tissue): three dimensional human epidermis model.
The EpiDerm™ model (Epi-200) consists of normal, human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a multi layered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis. It consists of organized basal, spinous and granular layers, and a multi-layered stratum corneum containing intercellular lamellar lipid layers arranged in patterns analogous to those found in vivo. The EpiDem™ tissues (surface 0.6 cm²) are cultured on specially prepared cell culture inserts (MILLICELLs®, 10 mm ∅) and commercially available as kits (EpiDerm™ 200), containing 24 tissues on shipping agarose.

- Observation period:
- 42±4 hours
- Number of animals:
- 3 tissues were used per treatment for the test substance, the negative control (NC) and the positive control (PC)
- Details on study design:
- Test procedure:
On the day of arrival in the laboratory, the tissues were transferred to sterile 6-well plates with 0.9 mL assay medium and preconditioned in the incubator at 37°C. After 1 hour the preincubation medium was replaced with fresh medium and preconditioning continued for 18 ± 3 hours. Three tissues were treated with the test substance, the PC and NC, respectively. Thirty microliter (30 μL) of the undiluted test substance was applied using a pipette. Control tissues were concurrently applied with 30 μL of sterile PBS (negative control, NC) or with 30 μL of 5% SDS (positive control, PC). A nylon mesh was placed carefully onto the tissue surface afterwards. The tissues were kept under the laminar flow hood at room temperature for 25 minutes overall and for 35 minutes in the incubator. The tissues were washed with sterile PBS to remove residual test material 1 hour after start of application. Rinsed tissues were blotted on sterile absorbent paper and transferred into new 6-well plates, pre-filled with 0.9 mL fresh medium. When all tissues were rinsed, the surface of each tissue was carefully dried with a sterile cotton swab. Subsequently, the tissues were incubated in the incubator at 37°C for 24 ± 2 hours. After 24 ± 2 hours the tissues were transferred into new 6-well plates pre-filled with 0.9 mL of fresh medium and placed into the incubator for additional 18 ± 2 hours post-incubation period. After the postincubation period, the assay medium was replaced by 0.3 mL MTT solution and the tissues were incubated in the incubator for 3 hours. After incubation, the tissues were washed with PBS to stop the MTT-incubation. The formazan that was metabolically produced by the tissues was extracted by incubation of the tissues in isopropanol. The optical density at a wavelength of 570 nm (OD570) of the extracts was determined spectrophotometrically. Blank values were established of 6 microtiter wells filled with isopropanol for each microtiter plate.
DATA EVALUATION:
-Principle: the OD570 value determined for each tissue was used as a measure of its viability. The quotient of the OD570 of tissues treated with the test material and the mean OD570 values of the NC (percent of control) is used for evaluating whether or not a test material is irritant.
-Calculation of individual and mean optical densities: the individual tissue OD570 is calculated by subtracting the mean blank value of the respective microtiter plate from the respective individual tissue OD570 value. The mean OD570 for a test group of three tissues treated in the same way is calculated.
-Tissue viability: the quantification of tissue viability is presented as the quotient of the mean OD570 divided by the respective OD570 NC value in percent
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA:
-Assay acceptance criteria for the negative control (NC): the absolute OD570 of the negative control tissues in the MTT-test is an indicator of tissue viability obtained in the testing laboratory after the shipping and storing procedure and under specific conditions of the assay. Tissue viability is acceptable if (1) the mean OD570 of the NC is ≥ 1.0 and (2) the mean OD570 of the NC is ≤ 2.5.
- Assay acceptance criterion for the positive control (PC): 5% SDS is used as PC and reflects the sensitivity of the tissues used in the test conditions. A viability of ≤ 20% is acceptable.
- Assay acceptance criterion for tissue variability: for every treatment, 3 tissues are treated in parallel. The intertissue variability is considered to be acceptable if the SD of %-viability is ≤ 20.
EVALUATION OF RESULTS:
Irritant potential of the test materials is predicted from the mean relative tissue viabilities compared to the negative control tissues concurrently treated with sterile PBS. A chemical is considered as "irritant", if the mean relative tissue viability with a test material is less than or equal to 50%.
HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA
Historical control values of negative and positive controls, gathered over an appropriate time period, were available. These data demonstrate the reproducibility of results and robustness of the procedures. They are used to derive suitable acceptance criteria for the test system.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- In the first run the SD of %-viability of the test substance was out of the acceptance range. Therefore a second run was performed where all acceptance criteria were met. Based on the observed results and applying the evaluation criteria, it was concluded, that 2,2'-Oxybisethanol, ethoxylated and propoxylated (>1 < 4.5 mol EO and >1 <4.5 mol PO) does not show a skin irritation potential in the EpiDermTM skin irritation test under the test conditions chosen.
