Observations and records

Induction reactions

After the intradermal and the epidermal induction application irritant reactions are normally induced by the adjuvant, the high test article concentration, ort he sodium lauryl sulfate pretreatment. Because most of the reactions are treatment related and not compound related, the reactions are only related and not compound related, the reactions are only described in special cases in the section of results.

Challenge reactions

Twenty four and forty eight hours after removing the dressings, the challenge reactions were graded according to the Draize scoring scale.

General

The sensitising potential of CA 1139 A was classified according to the grading of Magnussen and Kligman.

The body weight was recorded at start and end of the test.

Remarks on results

Under the experimental conditions employed, 35 and 55% of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 and 48 hours after removing the dressings, respectively.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the experimental conditions employed, 35 and 55% of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 and 48 hours after removing the dressings, respectively. CA 1139 A is, therefore, classified as a moderate sensitiser in albino guinea pigs to the grading of Magnussen and Kligman.
Executive summary:

The study was cariied under the rules of GLP.

This skin sensitisation test in the guinea pig test was conducted according to the OECD Guideline No. 406, adopted on May 12, 1981, adapted July 17, 1992, by the OECD council, and on Annex V, Part B of Council Directive 79/831/EEC (Commission Directive 84/449/EEC od April 25, 1984). Under the experimental conditions employed, 35 and 55% of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 and 48 hours after removing the dressings, respectively. According to the maximisation grading CA 1139 A showed a moderate grade of skin-sensitising (contact allergenic) potential in abino guinea pigs.

CA 1139 A is, therefore, classified as a moderate sensitiser in albino guinea pigs to the grading of Magnussen and Kligman.
