Details on study design:
Pretest:
2 x 2 cm filter paper strips containing the test substance formulation were applied to the skin of the flanks under an occlusive dressing. Test sites were visually evaluated 24 h and 48 h after application of test solutions. In accordance with the OECD Guideline 406 a slightly irritating concentration should be used in the main test for induction whereas the maximum non-irritant concentration should be applied for challenge.


Main study

- Intradermal induction:
Intradermal induction using adjuvant technique has been recommended to enhance immune response so that weak sensitizing compounds can be detected. 6 intradermal injections were conducted (on groups of two per animal). Skin readings were performed 24 h after application. Site of application: Shoulder.

- Percutaneous induction:
Percutaneous induction was carried out one week after intradermal induction. 2 x 4 cm filter paper strips containing the test substance formulation were applied to the skin of the shoulder for 48 h under an occlusive dressing. The filter paper strip was soaked in the test substance formualtion. This way the animals were exposed to about 0.3g of the test substance formulation. The control groups were treated analogously to the test group but only with the solvent without the test substance. Skin readings were performed 48 h after application.

- Challenge:
Fourteen days after percutaneous induction, 2 x 2 cm filter paper strips containing the test substance formulation were applied to the skin of the flank for 24 h under an occlusive dressing (non-irritant concentration). The filter paper strip was soaked in the test substance formulation. Skin reactions were read at 24 and 48 after the removal of the patch.


Evaluation:
The number of animals with skin findings at 24 hours after the removal of the patch was taken into account for the determination of the sensitization rate. The evaluation "sensitizing" results if at least 30 per cent of the test animals exhibit skin reactions. Assessment of skin findings according to Draize, J.H. (1959).
Challenge controls:
A positive control (reliability check) with a known sensitiser is not included in this study, however, a separate study will be performed twice a year in the laboratory. The latest control was performed with 1-chlor-2,4-dinitro-benzol and gave a 100% response of all (20) animals tested.

Control group 2 that had been intended for a potential 2nd challenge was not treated with the test substance since a 2nd challenge was not necessary on basis of the unambiguous results of the 1st challenge.
