Details on study design:
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: 3H-methyl thymidine incorporation determined by ß-scintillation
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: A stimulation index (SI) was calculated for each group using the activity of each test group divided by the activity of the vehicle control group. The criterion for a positve response is that at least one concentration of the test substance should elicit a 3-fold or greater increase in isotope incorporation relative to the vehicle control group.

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION: The dorsal surface of both ears was topically treated (25 μL/ear) with the test substance on Day 1. The application was repeated on Day 2 and 3. Three days after the third application on Day 6 an injection of 250 µl phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 20 µCi of 3H-methyl thymidine (³HTdR) was made into the tail vein of each experimental mouse. Approximately five hours later, following injection of ³HTdR, the mice were sacrificed and draining auricular lymph nodes were excised and pooled for each individual animal. A single cell suspension was prepared by gentle separation through a 200 mesh stainless steel gauze. The cell suspensions were washed two times with an excess of PBS and precipitated with 5% trichloroacetic acid at 4 °C for 18 h. The pellets were resuspended in 1 mL of trichloroacetic acid and transferred to 10 mL of scintillation fluid.
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
Statistics:
A one-way parametric analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Dunnett's Multiple Comparisons Test, using GraphPad InStat version 3.06, was performed in DPM counts.
If test groups showed a SI >3, then an extrapolated EC3 value was calculated from SI values at low% and either mid% or high% concentrations.
If at least one concentration shows SI < 3, then the formula is: EC3 = [(3-d)/(b-d)] x (a-c) + c

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The SI value calculated for the positive control was 11.0.

EC3 CALCULATION
The EC3 value was calculated based on the results from Experiment 2 using the SI values at 2.5 and 5% test substance concentration. The EC3 value was calculated to be 2.7%.

CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS
All animals appeared normal for the duration of the study.

BODY WEIGHTS
Two to three animals each of the treatment groups in Experiment 2 lost or failed to gain weight during the study.

Statistics

The treatment groups I - III (25, 50 and 100%) and IV – VII (2.5, 5, 10 and 25%) were compared to the vehicle control group of Experiment 1 and 2, respectively. In Experiment 1, statistically significant mean DPM counts (P < 0.01, ANOVA) were observed at 100% test substance concentration and for the positive control group. In Experiment 2, statistically significant mean DPM counts were observed at 5, 10 and 25% test substance concentration.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
