Details on study design:
The test substance concentrations selected for the main study were based on the results of a preliminary study.
In the main study, ten experimental animals were intradermally injected with a 2% concentration and epidermally exposed to a 50% concentration (for 48 hours). Five control animals were similarly treated, but with the vehicle (1% aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose) only. Approximately 24 hours before the epidermal induction exposure all animals were treated with 10% SDS. Two weeks after the epidermal application all animals were challenged (epidermal exposure) with a 50% test substance concentration and the vehicle using a dressing (24 hours exposure). At 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing, the treated sites were assessed for challenge reactions.

Mortality/viability was checked twice daily.
Toxicity was checked at least once daily.
Body weights were determined prior to start and at termination of the study.
Challenge controls:
yes (negative controls)
