Any other information on results incl. tables

RESULTS OF TEST
- Sensitization reaction: 
  0/20 animals positive at 24 hours and at 48 hours = no sensitization
  no animals positive in control group
  no skin reaction upon corn oil treatment on opposite side (both groups)
- Clinical signs: 
  1st induction, FCA application sites: distinct erythema and edema,  slight necroses
  1st induction, vehicle application sites: slight erythema
  1st induction, vehicle + test substance application sites: slight  erythema and edema
  2nd induction, test and control groups: severe inflammation of all FCA  injection sites with bleeding; soon after patch removal 

bleeding wounds  from scratching in the application area; crust formation within 24 hours
- Other: Mean body weight gain 64 g in test group, 76 g in control group  = below expected range. Weight loss was observed 

in 8/20 test animals and  4/10 control animals during weeks 2 and 3. No reason for this could be  identified.
