Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
26.09.1993 to 05.11.1993
Reliability:

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
An LLNA study was not performed because there is an existing reliable study for skin sensitisation using the Buehler test method. Furthermore, the LLNA test method is not considered to be suitable for substances that contain silicon. Please refer to the attached document for further details.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: 2.5%, 25% and 50% w/w test substance in corn oil MEH 56 and 100% test substance were applied to the skin of three guinea-pigs, under occlusive conditions for six hours. The skin reactions were then assessed 24 and 48 hours after dressing removal. No signs of irritation were observed in any of the animals.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: Three
- Exposure period: Six hours
- Control group: Treated the same with corn oil MEH 56
- Site: Left flank
- Frequency of applications: On days 0, 7 and 14
- Concentrations: 100% undiluted test substance


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: One
- Day(s) of challenge: Day 28
- Exposure period: Six hours
- Test groups: 100 % test substance
- Control group: Corn oil MEH 56
- Site: Right flank
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours after dressing removal.

In a separate study, Dunkin-Hartley guinea-pigs were treated with standard allergen 1-chlor-2,4-dinitrbenzol (0.05-0.1 % in vaseline) under the conditions of the Buehler test. They were tested alongside negative controls (vaseline only). This separate study showed the sensitivity of the Buehler test in the laboratory in question.
Challenge controls:
Negative - corn oil MEH 56
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
1-chlor-2,4-dinitrobenzol (CDNB; separate investigation)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Approximately 40-50% of animals gave a positive result.
