Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The potential of RC9927 to cause delayed contact hypersensitivity in guinea-pigs was assessed by a modified version of the method of Buehler.
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The study was conducted in 1987. At this time an OECD guideline for a LLNA was not available.

Any other information on results incl. tables

There was no dermal response to occluded application of RC9927 to test group animals at any of the three phases of induction.

There was no significant dermal response to challenge application of the undiluted testmaterial in test or control group animals.

Challenge application of dinitrochlorobenzene elicited significant erythematous responses in eight of the nine surviving positive control guinea-pigs. No significant dermal reaction was observed in the vehicle control group.
