- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Using available information regarding the systemic toxicity/irritancy potential of the test material, a preliminary screening test was performed using five mice, one mouse per test material concentration. The mice were treated by daily application of 25 µl of the test material at concentrations of 25%, 10%, 5%, 2.5% and 1% v/v in acetone/olive oil 4:1, to the dorsal surface of each ear for up to three consecutive days (Days 1, 2, 3). The mice were observed twice daily on Day 1 and pre-dose on Day 2. Surviving mice were observed pre-dose on Day 3 and remaining surviving mice were observed once daily on Days 4, 5 and 6. Any signs of toxicity or excessive local irritation noted during this period were recorded. The bodyweight of each mouse was recorded on Day 1 (prior to dosing) and of the surviving mice on Day 6. The bodyweight of the mouse, treated with the test material at a concentration of 5% v/v in acetone/olive oil 4:1, that was humanely killed, was recorded immediately prior to termination. The bodyweight of the mice treated with the test material at a concentration of 10% or 25% v/v in acetone/olive oil 4:1, that were humanely killed, were not recorded prior to termination in error.
- Lymph node proliferation response:
No signs of systemic toxicity were noted in animals treated with the test material at concentrations of 2.5% or 1% v/v in acetone/olive oil 4:1.
Based on this information the dose levels selected for the main test were 2.5%, 1% or 0.5% v/v in acetone/olive oil 4:1.
MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method:
Local Lymph Node Assay in the Mouse.
- Criteria used to consider a positive response:
The proliferation response of lymph node cells was expressed as the number of radioactive disintegrations per minute per lymph node(dpm/node) and as the ratio of 3HTdR incorporation in lymph node cells of test nodes relative to that recorded for the control nodes (stimulation Index).
The test material will be regarded as a sensitiser if at least one concentration of the test material results in a threefold or greater increase in 3HTdR incorporation compared to control values. Any test material failing to produce a threefold or greater increase in 3HTdR incorporation will be classified as a "non-sensitier".
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Test Material Administration
Groups of four mice were treated with the test material at concentrations of 2.5%, 1% or 0.5% v/v in acetone/olive oil 4:1. The preliminary screening test suggested that the test material would not produce systemic toxicity or excessive local irritation at the highest suitable concentration. The mice were treated by daily application of 25 µl of the appropriate concentration of the test material to the dorsal surface of each ear for three consecutive days (Days 1, 2, 3). The test material formulation was administered using an automatic micropipette and spread over the dorsal surface of the ear using the tip of the pipette.
A further group of four mice received the vehicle alone in the same manner.
3H-Methyl Thymidine Administration:
Five days following the first topical application of the test material or vehicle (Day 6) all mice were injected via the tail vein with 250 µl of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 3H methyl thymidine (3HTdR: 80 µCi/ml, specific activity 2.0 Ci/mmol, ARC UK Ltd) giving a total of 20 µCi to each mouse. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
None provided.
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- One group of five animals was treated with 50 µl (25 µl per ear) of alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, Tech, 85% as a solution in acetone/olive oil 4:1 at a concentration of 15% v/v. A further group of five animals was treated with acetone/olive oil 4:1 alone.
The Stimulation Index expressed as the mean radioactive incorporation for the treatment group divided by the mean radioactive incorporation of the vehicle control group are as follows:

Introduction. A study was performed to assess the sensitivity of the strain of mouse used at these laboratories to a known sensitiser. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the following:
