Skin sensitisation
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Study period:
- Not documented
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- The published study information describes a valid procedure for assessment of sensitising potential, cross referenced to various similar materials (common group of aldehydes). Some of the materials tested in the study are used as positive control materals for guideline compliant sensitisation assays, and the positive results obtained in this publication validate the published method to some degree.

Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- n-octanal was dissolved in saline containing 1% Tween 80. For sensitization, the animals were injected with 0.1 ml of n-octanal solution (1.0%) intracutaneously on both sides of the abdomen for 7 days. Three weeks later, elicitation experiments were carried out with an injection of 0.1 ml of 0.25, 0.5% and 1.0% n-octanal solution or saline containing I% Tween 80 as the control. The abdomen of each animal was depilated with a hair remover prior to the elicitation of a skin reaction. Skin reactions were graded based on reaction diameter 24 hr after the injection of n-octanal or the control as follows:
0 to 1.0 mm -,
1.0 to 2.0 mm ±,
2.0 to 4.0 mm +,
4.0 to 6.0 mm ++,
6.0 to 8.0 mm +++. - GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Type of study:
- other: Guinea pig sensitisation
- Justification for non-LLNA method:
- The test was performed in 2001 when the OECD Guideline 406 adopted in 1992 was the current version. According to this guideline "the Guinea Pig Maximisation Test (GPMT) [...] and the non-adjuvant Buehler Test are given preference over other methods".“

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- n-octanal elicited an allergic response in three guinea pigs tested in an intracutaneous test and as such, was considered to be a potential skin sensitiser
- Executive summary:
In this study, Guinea pigs were sensitised intracutaneously on both sides of the abdomen for 7 days at a concentration of 0.1 ml of 1% n-octanal/day. Three weeks later n-octanal was injected intracutaneously to 12 male guinea pigs per test and control group at a concentration of 0.1%, 0.5% and 1.0% of n-octanal. Control animals received 0.1 ml of saline-I % Tween 80 solution intracutaneously instead of the n-octanal solution. At the test concentrations used in this study, the test substance did elicit allergenic responses and as such, is considered to be a potential skin sensitiser.
