- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
:
The tissue surrounding the eyeball was carefully pulled away and the cornea was excised leaving a 2 to 3 mm rim of sclera. The isolated corneas were stored in a petri dish containing HBSS. The corneas were mounted in corneal holders (Duratec GmbH) with the endothelial side against the O-ring of the posterior chamber. The anterior chamber was then positioned on top of the cornea and tightened with screws. The chambers of the corneal holder were then filled with RPMI (without phenol red) containing 1% FBS (fetal bovine serum) and 2 mM L-glutamine (complete RPMI). The prepared corneas were incubated for one hour at 32 ± 1°C.
QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS :
Before the corneas were mounted in corneal holders, they were visually examined for defects and any defective cornea were discarded. Only corneas that had an initial luminance reading l >l0/ 1.1651 lux were used for the assay.
NUMBER OF REPLICATES :
Three corneas were used for each treatment group (test substance and positive and negative controls)
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED:
Three corneas with illuminance readings approximately equivalent to the median illuminance of all corneas were selected as negative control corneas. The negative controls were treated with physiological saline 0.9% NaCl.
POSITIVE CONTROL USED
The positive controls were treated with ethanol 100%.
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME :
750 µL of the test substance or the control substance was introduced into the anterior chamber. After 10 minutes incubation at 32 ± 1°C either the test substance or the control substance was removed.
POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: no
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE :
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: After the test substance or control substance was removed, the epithelium was washed at least three times with MEM (minimum essential medium, containing phenol red). Once the medium was free of test substance, the cornea was finally rinsed with complete RPMI (without phenol red).
POST-EXPOSURE INCUBATION:
Following rinsing of the cornea, an illuminance measurement was performed after 2 hours incubation at 32 ± 1°C. The medium was then removed from both chambers of the holder. The posterior chamber was refilled with fresh complete RPMI and the anterior chamber filled with 1 mL of a 4 mg/mL sodium fluorescein solution. The corneas were then incubated for a further 90 minutes at 32 ± 1°C.
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: Measurement of illuminance
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of UV/VIS spectrophotometry at 490 nm (OD490) .
- Others: Each cornea was observed visually and pertinent observations were recorded.
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
DECISION CRITERIA: The decision criteria as indicated in the TG were used.
Results and discussion
In vitro
Results
- Irritation parameter:
- in vitro irritation score
- Run / experiment:
- Mean of three measurements
- Value:
- -0.46
- Vehicle controls validity:
- not applicable
- Negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Remarks on result:
- no indication of irritation
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- EFFECTS:
None of the corneas treated with the test substance showed opacity of the tissue.
ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: The negative control responses resulted in opacity and permeability values that are less than the established upper limits for background bovine corneas treated with the respective negative control.
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: The in vitro irritation score obtained with the positive control fell within the two standard deviations of the current historical mean.
- Range of historical mean in vitro irritation score values for positive control: Mean value (MV) - 2xSD = 29.20; MV + 2xSD = 67.94
