Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Number of animals: 20
Induction: 10 intradermal injections of a 0.1 % test preparation in 3 weeks. In the second and third week Freund's adjuvant is used as vehicle.
Thereafter a 2-week rest period is followed by intradermal challenge, which is followed again by epidermal challenge 10 days later.
Evaluation parameters: skin fold thickness, erythema
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
Maurer optimisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
According to the REACH regluation (EC) No. 1097/2006, the LLNA test is the first-choice method for in vivo testing and in exceptional circumstances another test can be used. Since the study was carried out before the regulation entered into force and the Maurer optimisation test was an acceptable method for testing skin sensitisation at the time of study conduct, it is not justified to conducted an additional LLNA test due to animal welfare.

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Executive summary:

10 intradermal injections of a 0.1 % test preparation in 3 weeks. In the second

and third week Freund's adjuvant is used as vehicle. Thereafter a 2-week rest

period is followed by intradermal challenge, which is followed agin by epidermal

challenge 10 days later.

Evaluation parameters: skin fold thickness, erythema

result: negative (the positive reactions are considered as a unspecific foreign particle reaction)
