MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: IMDS
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: increase in the stimulation indices for cell counts (> 1.4) and for weights of the draining lymph nodes

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
The registered substance (in corn oil) or the vehicle were applied epicutaneously onto the dorsal part of both ears of the animals. This treatment was repeated on three consecutive days (d1, d2 and d3).
The volume administered was 25 mL/ear.
Based on experiences with this test system and the known properties of the test item the following concentrations were used: 0 (vehicle control), 2, 10 and 50%.

Positive control substance(s):

hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:

The last reliability test using Alpha Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde formulated in Acetone/Olive Oil (4:1) at concentrations of 3%, 10% and 30% showed clearly the sensitizing potential of the test item.
