Justification of strain: The guinea pig is the standard species used for skin sensitisation studies.
Number of animals:
Test groups: 10 animals
Control group: 5 animals
Sex: Male
Body weight range at the
beginning of the study: 346 – 426 g
Age of animals at arrival: Young adult
Acclimatization time: 13 days
Husbandry
Animal health: Only animals in acceptable health condition were used for the test as certified by the veterinarian.
Cage type: Animals were housed in macrolon cages, size III., with 2 or 3 animals/cage (42 x 42 x 19 cm)
Bedding: Laboratory bedding, Lignocel 3-4 Fasern (produced by J. Rettenmaier & Söhne GmbH+CO.KG, D-73494 Rosenberg, Germany) was available to animals during the study.
Animal room: 602/1
Light: 12 hours daily from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. (artificial light)
Temperature during
the main study: 19.5 – 24.1 °C
Relative humidity during
the main study: 10 – 54 %
Ventilation: 15-20 air exchange/hour
The environmental parameters were recorded twice daily during the study. Variations from the target temperature and humidity ranges were observed during the study and the acclimatisation period. These deviations were considered to have no impact on the animal health, as certified by the Clinical Veterinarian, or on the outcome of the study and interpretation of the results due to their low magnitude.
Food and Feeding
Animals received PURINA Base – Lap gr. diet for rabbits produced by AGRIBRANDS Europe Hungary PLC, H-5300 Karcag, Madarasi road, Hungary, ad libitum.
This diet is classified as being suitable for Guinea pigs as the vitamin D level is high enough to meet the needs of this species. This is the diet used by the breeder/supplier and animals are fully adapted to this diet on arrival. The details of the diet or diets used will be archived with the raw data.
Water Supply
Animals received tap water from municipal supply as for human consumption, containing 50 mg/100 ml ascorbic acid, ad libitum. The drinking water is routinely analysed and is considered not to contain any contaminants that could reasonably be expected to affect the purpose or integrity of the study. Copies of the relevant Certificates of Analysis are retained in the archive at LAB Research Ltd.
Identification
The animals were individually marked using ear punching. The cages were marked with individual identity cards with information about study code, sex, cage number, dose group and individual animal number.
Randomisation
All animals were sorted according to weight on the day before the start of the treatment period. After this the animals were allocated to the test groups. The result of the randomisation was checked according to the actual body weights assuring an acceptable homogeneity and variability among the groups.

Preliminary Dose Range Finding Study
Start of preliminary study: 25 January 2011
End of preliminary study: 30 January 2011
Justification of the dosages:
For the intra-dermal application, 0.1 mL of the formulated test item was injected at concentrations of 5, 1, 0.1 and 0.01 % (w/v) in Physiological saline solution (NaCl 0.9%), into the hair free skin. One concentration was injected on the right side and another concentration on the left side of the animal. Each concentration was injected in duplicate at different sites, so each animal received a total of four injections. Two animals were employed per concentration tested.
Following the intra-dermal administration, the exposed areas were covered for
24 hours with porous gauze fastened with "Clinipore-silk" to protect the treatment area from physical damage caused by scratching etc.
It was found that 0.1 mL of the test item formulation administered at concentrations of 1, 0.1 and 0.01 % (w/v) in Physiological saline solution resulted in no reaction (scores 0-0) in the skin of guinea pigs. A concentration of 5 % (w/v) in Physiological saline solution caused very slight erythema (score 1) 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the treatment.
For the dermal application, approximately 0.5 mL of the formulated test item in distilled water was applied at concentrations of 50, 25, 10 and 5 % (w/w) onto the clipped and shaved skin of the animals. The time of exposure for the dermal application was 24 hours (for 5 and 10 % (w/w) doses) and 48 hours (for 50 and 25 % (w/w) doses). One concentration was used on the right side and another concentration on the left side of the animals. Two animals were used per concentration.
It was found that 0.5 ml of the test formulation in distilled water at concentrations of 50 (w/w) % produced well defined erythema (score 2) 1 hour after the patch removal. Concentrations of 25, 10 and 5 % (w/w) caused very slight erythema (score 1) 1 hour after the patch removal.
On the basis of results of the Preliminary Dose Range Finding Study, the 50 % (w/w) in distilled water was used for dermal induction treatment. Control animals were treated with the vehicle (distilled water) only.
For the challenge exposure, all animals of the treatment and control group were treated with the 50 % (w/w) concentration and at concentration of 25 % (w/w) in distilled water as a safeguard dose.
For intra-dermal treatment, the 5 (w/v) % in physiological saline solution was used.
Scoring of the primary irritation scores observed are summarized in Table 1 and 2.
Main Study
STUDY DESIGN
The treatments, concentrations of the test item and the times of observations are as detailed below in table 1.
Control animals were treated similarly to test animals, except that during the induction phase, the test item was omitted.
Induction involved two main procedures: intra-dermal treatments (Main Study I) and dermal exposure (Main Study II) with closed patch technique. The results of the intra-dermal and the dermal induction treatments were observed and recorded. Records are archived with the raw data.
Main Study I: Intra-dermal Induction Exposure
Approximately 24 hours before the treatment, an area of 5 x 5 cm² on the scapular region of animals was clipped free of hair and shaved.
Intra-dermal treatment
Test groups:
A series of three injections was administered on each side of the scapular region of treatment group animals, as follows, resulting in six injections per animal:
2 injections with 0.10 ml of Freund's Complete Adjuvant mixed with physiological saline (1:1 v/v),
2 injections with 0.10 ml of the test item in physiological saline at 5 % (w/v) concentration,
2 injections with 0.10 ml of test item in 5 % (w/v), formulated in a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of Freund's Adjuvant and physiological saline.
Control group:
The control animals were treated similarly as the test group; however, the vehicle without the test item was used for injections as follows:
2 injections with 0.10 ml mix of Freund's Complete Adjuvant and physiological saline (NaCl 0.9 %) (1:1)(v/v),
2 injections with 0.10 ml of physiological saline,
2 injections with 0.10 ml of 50 % formulation of physiological saline in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) Freund's Adjuvant and physiological saline.
Main study II: Dermal Induction Exposure
The same inter-scapular region which received the intradermal injections, were used for dermal induction exposure. The test animals were treated with 0.5 ml of the 50 % (w/w) concentration of the test item in distilled water. This was the highest dose found to cause mild-to-moderate skin irritation in the preliminary dose range finding study. Control animals were treated with distilled water. The exposed areas were covered for 48 hours with 4 layers of porous gauze pads and fully occlusive foil fastened (Closed Patch Test). After the patch removal, any remaining test item was removed with a gauze swab.
Following dermal induction treatments, the animals were left untreated for 14 days prior to challenge applications.
Main study III: Challenge Exposure
Two weeks after the topical induction application, the animals were exposed to a dermal challenge dose at the flanks. Twenty four hours before the treatment, the hair was removed from an area of approximately 6x8 cm² on the left and right flank of each animal. A 5x5 cm² patch of sterile gauze was saturated with the test item at 50 % (w/w) concentration in distilled water and applied to the left flank of all animals (both the test and the control group).
The right shaved flank area of all animals was treated with a 50 % dilution of the maximum dermal challenge dose (i.e. 25 (w/w) % in distilled water).
The volume of formulated test item and vehicle was approximately 0.5 ml. Treatment was as indicated in section 3.5.2.2 (Closed Patch Test). The time of the exposure was 24 hours. After the patch removal any remaining test item was removed with a gauze swab.
OBSERVATION AND SCORING
The dermal irritation scores (in case of preliminary study (primary irritation) and in case of dermal exposure) were evaluated according to the scoring system by Draize (1959) presented by the following table.
Erythema and eschar formation:
No Erythema 0
Very slight Erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well defined Erythema 2
Moderate to severe Erythema 3
Severe Erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth) 4
Oedema formation:
No oedema 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate oedema (raised appr. 1 mm) 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond area of exposure) 4
CLASSIFICATION OF SKIN IRRITATION
0 = non irritant
1 = slightly irritant
2-3 = mildly to moderately irritant
4 = severely irritant
After the challenge exposure, each animal was examined and scored 24 and 48 hours after the end of the exposure period.
Grading was performed according to the following system:
CLASSIFICATION OF SKIN SENSITISATION
0 = no visible change
1 = discrete or patchy erythema
2 = moderate and confluent erythema
3 = intense erythema and swelling
CLASSIFICATION OF SENSITIZER
The results obtained for test animals at the challenge application were compared with those simultaneously obtained in control animals.
A test animal was considered to show evidence of contact hypersensitivity if the observed dermal reaction at challenge is more marked and/or persistent than dermal reaction seen in animals of the control group. If dermal scores of +/-1 were noted in control animals and the dermal reactions of the test group animals were not clearly different from the reaction in the animals of the control group, the test results were classified as “inconclusive”.
A test animal was considered to show no evidence of contact hypersensitivity if the dermal reaction resulting from the challenge application is identical or less marked and/or persistent than any dermal reaction seen in animals of the control group.
The percentage of animals showing a positive reaction was calculated in both (test and control) groups. As a result of these, the percentage value of the control animals that responded was subtracted from the percentage of the test animals responding positively to the challenge. The net response value is the percent sensitisation. According to the Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008; B.6, if at least 30 % of the animals show allergic response, after the Magnusson and Kligman procedure, the test item will be classified as a "sensitizer".
RELIABILITY STUDY
The sensitivity and reliability of the experimental procedure is assessed twice a year by use of items which are known to have moderate skin sensitisation properties such as 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (OECD 406, adopted 17 July 1992 chapter 10., 11.).
The selection of dose levels was made on the basis of the previous reliability study.
In the reliability study, the test animals were treated with the reference item as follows:
Intra-dermal induction exposure: 1% (w/v)
Dermal treatment: 75% (w/v)
Challenge treatment: 50% (w/v)

SUMMARY OF THE RELIABILITY STUDY
Challenge with test item 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole resulted in a positive response in test animals sensitised previously. The net response values at the 24 and 48 hours observations represented an incidence rate of 70 % and 60 % and the net score values of 0.70 and 0.60 respectively. In the control animals no visible changes were found either at the 24 and 48 hours examinations or following challenge with the test item. The dermal scores represented discrete erythema developed on the skin of sensitised guinea pigs.
On the basis of the results of the reliability check study, the test item
2-Mercaptobenzothiazole was classified as a skin sensitizer. This demonstrated that the experimental procedure was successful. - Challenge controls:

Main Study
A group of 10 animals was treated with the test item during the induction phase of the study. Injections were given intra-dermally with and without FCA (sensitisation phase I) and one week later the test item was applied dermally on the same site (sensitisation phase II). The animals were challenged by dermal exposure two weeks later with the test item at a concentration of 50 % (w/w) in distilled water.
Five control guinea pigs were simultaneously exposed to Physiological saline (NaCl 0.9 %) during the sensitisation phase I (intra-dermal treatment; with and without FCA). During the sensitisation phase II (dermal treatment) the control animals were treated with distilled water and theywere treated with the test item at a concentration of 50 % (w/w) in distilled water only on the challenge day.
Skin Effects after the Challenge Exposure
Test group
After the challenge with the test item at a concentration of 50 % (w/w) in distilled water, no positive response was observed in the treated animals. The mean of the scores was 0.00 according to the 24 and 48-hours results.The right shaved flank area of all animals was treated with a test item concentration of 25 (w/v) % in distilled water as a safeguard and no reaction was noted.
Control group
After the challenge with the test item at a concentration of 50 % (w/w) in distilled waterno visible changes were found at the 24 and 48 hours examinations.The right shaved flank area of control animals was treated with a test item concentration of 25 (w/v) % indistilled water as a safeguardand no reaction was noted.
Clinical Observations
There were no overt signs of an adverse clinical response to treatment with the test item during the course of the study.
Mortality
There were no moribund or dead animals during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Challenge with test item Reactive Blue F08-0170 evoked no positive responses in the test animals sensitised previously with the test item or in the control group. The net response value represented an incidence rate of 0 % and the net score value of 0.00.
In conclusion, under the conditions of the present assay the test item Reactive Blue F08-0170 (Batch No.: F08-0170-37) was shown to have no sensitisation potential and is classified as a non-sensitizer, according to current EU-regulations. - Executive summary:
A skin sensitisation study was performed in the guinea pig according to the Magnusson-Kligman method, using a maximisation method with Freund's complete adjuvant to evaluate the sensitisation potential of test item Reactive Blue F08-0170.
REACH Annex VII, Section 8.3, Column 2 states that the Murine Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) is the first choice method for in vivo testing, and that only in exceptional circumstances should another test be used. Justification for the use of another test shall be provided.
The substance, Reactive Blue F08-0170, is a copper based dye substance. A major failing of the LLNA is its inability to identify metal containing compounds, specifically copper and nickel based compounds, as contact allergens. This issue has also been addressed by others in the literature. In three papers, Ikarashi et al. (1992a; 1992b; 1993) suggested that the use of DMSO as a vehicle results in a positive LLNA test when metal salts, including nickel and copper salts, are applied to the skin. This information is listed in the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods (ICCVAM) and the National Toxicology Program Center for the Evaluation of Alternative Toxicological Methods (NICEATM) study paper on the evaluation of the LLNA for suitability.
As it is recognised that copper containing materials can give false positive results in the LLNA, it is the intention therefore to replace the LLNA with the Magnusson and Kligman assay for sensitisation. This study has been selected since it uses fewer animals than other alternative sensitisation assays, but is a viable method for assessment of copper containing materials.
Ten test animals were subjected to sensitisation procedures in a two-stage process, i.e. an intra-dermal treatment and a topical application. The test item was used at a concentration of 5 % in Physiological saline (NaCl 0.9 %) for intra-dermal injections and at a concentration of 50 % (w/w) in distilled water for dermal sensitisation treatment. Two weeks after the last induction exposure, a challenge dose (at a concentration of 50 % (w/w)in distilled water) was administered on the left flank of animal. The right flank area of animals was treated with 50 % dilution with distilled water of the maximum dermal challenge dose as a safeguard dose. Challenge was performed by dermal application of the test item.
Five control guinea pigs were simultaneously exposed to Physiological saline (NaCl 0.9 %) during the sensitisation phase I (intra-dermal treatment). During the sensitisation phase II (dermal treatment) the control animals were treated with distilled water and they were treated with the test item at a concentration of 50 % (w/w) and 25 % (w/w) in distilled water only during the challenge.
Incidence Rate
No signs of contact sensitisation were detected in guinea pigs previously exposed to the test item during the experiments.
Intensity of Sensitisation Response
In the control and treated animals the mean of the scores was 0.00 according to the 24 and 48-hour results.
In conclusion, under the conditions of the present assay the test item Reactive Blue F08-0170 (Batch No.:F08-0170-37) was shown to have no sensitisation potential and classified as a non-sensitizer, according to current EU-regulations.
