MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- 1x6 intradermal injections and one week later, treatment with SLS, followed by one percutaneous induction according to OECD 406
- Readings: 24 hours after the intradermal application and 48 hours after the percutaneous induction
- Control group: not treated during induction phase
- Site: shoulder, respective on the same area

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3 challenges
- Day(s) of challenge: 1st challenge: 19 days after percutaneous induction, 1st rechallenge: 28 days after percutaneous induction, 2nd rechallenge: 33 days after percutaneous induction
- Site: 1st challenge: right flank, 1st rechallenge: left flank, 2nd rechallenge: right flank
- Concentrations: 1st challenge: 10 % test substance in paraffin oil DAB7, 1st and 2nd rechallenge: 5 % test substance in paraffin oil DAB7
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 1st challenge: treated and control animals 48 and 72 hours; 1st rechallenge: treated animals only 24 h, control animals 24 and 72 h; 2nd rechallenge: treated and control animals 24, 48 and 72 h.
