Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- A group of animals was used to determine the highest non-irritating concentration of composite NaF prior to the challenge dose. The test substance was diluted with distilled water to yield concentrations of 95%, 75%, 50% and 25% w/w and applied to skin test sites using an occlusive 25 mm Hilltop Chamber. After 6 hours of exposure, the chambers were removed. Twenty-four hours after application, each site was evaluated for local skin reactions.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: 10 animals
- Control group: 5 naive animals - not treated at induction
- Site: left flank
- Frequency of applications: once each week
- Duration: 3 weeks
- Concentrations: 95% w/w mixture of composite NaF in distilled water

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: one
- Day(s) of challenge: 20 days after last induction application
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: 10 animals
- Control group: 5 naive animals
- Site: right flank
- Concentrations: 95% w/w mixture of composite NaF in distilled water
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours after removal of challeng application


Challenge controls:
Five naive control animals were patched with 95% w/w mixture of composite NaF in distilled water for 6 hours at challenge. Test sites were evaluted at 24 and 48 hours after patch removal.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
0.04% dinitrochlorobenzene

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Nine of 10 postive control animals exhibited signs of sensitization response (faint to moderate erythema; grades 1 to 2) 24 hours after challenge. At 48 hours, similar indications persisted in 5 of the animals. Very faint erythema (grade 0.5) was noted at all other positive control sites following challenge dose.
