MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA)
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: The sensitivity and reliability of the experimental technique employed was assessed by use of a
substance which is known to have skin sensitisation properties in CBA/CaOlaHsd mice (¿-Hexylcinnamaldehyde in acetone:olive oil, 4:1 )
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
25 µl was spread to the entire dorsal surface of each ear of each mouse once daily for three consecutive days. On day 6 an injection of 250 µl phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 78.9 µCi of 3H-methyl thymidine (3H-TdR) was made into the tail vein of each experimental mouse. Five hours
later, the draining Auricular lymph node of each ear was excised into PBS. A single cell suspension of lymph node cells was prepared from each
mouse. After washing two times with phosphate buffered saline the lymph node cells were resuspended in 5 % trichloroacetic acid and incubated at approximately +4 °C for at least 18 hours for precipitation of macromolecules. The precipitates were then resuspended in 5 % trichloroacetic acid
and transferred to plastic scintillation vials. The level of 3HTdR incorporation was then measured on a ¿-scintillation counter. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- No data.
- Positive control results:
- The sensitivity and reliability of the experimental technique employed was assessed by use of a substance which is known to have skin sensitisation properties in CBA/CaOlaHsd mice.
- Parameter:
- SI
- Remarks on result:
- other: see Remark
- Remarks:
- Stimulation Indices (S.I.) of 0.46, 0.48, and 0.56 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 10, 25, 50 % in ethanol:deionised water (30+70), respectively. The EC3 value could not be calculated, since none of the tested concentrations induced an S.I. greater than 3.

- Executive summary:
The sensitization potential was investigated according to OECD Guideline 429.
The test item concentrations choosen for the LLNA test were 10, 25, 50 %.
No deaths occurred during the study period. No symptoms of local toxicity at the ears of the animals and no systemic findings were observed during the study period. The body weight of the animals was within the range commonly recorded for animals of this strain and age.
Reference
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
Skin sensitising potential of Sodium 2-hydroxyethanesulphonate was tested in one Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) according to OECD test guideline 429. In this assay S.I. of 0.46, 0.48 and 0.56 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 10%, 25% and 50% in ethanol:deionised water, 30:70.
In this assay no EC3 value could be calculated since all S.I. values were below 3.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
There are no respiratory sensitization properties of the substance known in literature. Beyond this there are no indications of sensitization property of the compound from the LLNA study. Therefore, it is concluded that the subsance is not a respiratory sensitizer.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Sodium 2-hydroxyethanesulphonate did not show skin sensitizing properties in the LLNA study according to the current OECD guidelines. Allergic skin reactions or case reports of acute contact dermatitis to Sodium 2-hydroxyethanesulphonate have not been described in the literature. Therefore, the substance does not have to be classified as a skin sensitizer.
A classification concerning respiratory sensitizing properties is not warranted as the classification criteria according to EU regulation 1272/2008 are not met.
