Concentration / amount:
Concentration of test material and vehicle used at induction:
1st injection: FCA in water 1:1
2nd injection: 1% sample in olive oil
3rd injection: 1% sample in FCA with water, 1:1
The sample was prepared in the mixture with the Freund
complete adjuvant (FCA). The olive oil was used as vehiculum
because the sample is almost insoluble in water.


Intradermal induction : zero day - test group

1st injection - FCA : water = 1:1

2nd injection - 1 % sample in olive oil

3rd injection - 1 % sample in FCA : water = 1:1


Intradermal induction : zero day - negative control group

1st injection - FCA : water = 1:1

2nd injection - olive oil

3rd injection - (50 % FCA : water = 1:1) : 50 % olive oil


Dermal induction : 7th day - test group

50 % sample in olive oil with fixation time : 48 hours


Dermal induction : 7th day - negative control group

olive oil with fixation time : 48 hours

Concentration of test material and vehicle used for each challenge:

Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 20 %

Signs of irritation during induction:
Test of primary irritation with different concentration of
the test sample was realised. The fixation time was 24
hours. One hour after removing bandage the sign of
irritation was observed. The highest concentration not
giving rise to irritating effects  applied epicutaneously
was 20% sample in olive oil.

The signs of irritation observation during induction have
not been executed.

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:
1st Challenge 24 hour:

In 48 hours after application seven animals had the positive
skin reactions: two of the animals had the middle
repletion and the mild oedema, five of the animals had the
mild or the dappled repletion and the mild or the very
mildoedema.


In 72 hours after application the reaction was held over all
the previous reagents, the reaction was expressed as the
repletion, the oedema and the separating of skin surface
coats. For the animals numbered 28 and 30 the reaction was
held over the next 24 hours as the result of the allergic
dermatitis.

Other observations:
The sensitivity and reliability control results of the test:

Applied substance - Benzocain (CAS No.94-09-7)

Intradermal induction exposition: 5% conc.in olive oil.

Epicutan exposition: 25% concentration in vaseline alba.
Challange concentration: 5% concentration in vaseline alba.

Test results : 60% positive dermal reaction. The test
reliability was confirmed.
