MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- Exposure period: Intradermal injection followed by a closed patch exposure over injection site one week later.
- Test groups: 0.1 ml of one of three preparations (adjuvant/saline mixture 1:1 (v/v); test article TK13061/2 in physiological saline (w/v); test article TK13061/2 in the adjuvant saline mixture (w/v). - [test material concentration 5%]. Second induction: 0.4g paste of TK13061/2 incorporated in vaseline (w/w) [Test material concentration 10%].
- Control group: treated with adjuvant and vehicle only.
- Site: neck region
- Duration: 1x injection and 1x patch
- Concentrations: 5% test material for injection; 10% test material for epidermal application.


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups: 0.2g of TK13061/2 in vaseline (w/w)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
50% of the animals were sensitized by TK13061/2. According to the maximization grading, TK13061/2 showed a moderate grade of skin sensitizing (contact allergenic) potential in albino guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study twenty 10 week old male and female pirbright white guinea pigs with Trisodium [carboxy(oxido)methyl]phosphonate in petrolatum, were tested using the method of guinea pig maximisation test                                                 

 

In this study, trisodium [carboxy(oxido)methyl]phosphonate is a moderate dermal sensitizer.
