Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
To exclude primary skin irritations two animals/group were treated once dermally in a preliminary study under occlusive conditions with the following concentrations (each 0.5 mL/animal) of the sample: 100% (undiluted), 75%, 50%, and 10% in Oleum arachidis; intradermal: 10% and 5% in Oleum arachidis.
The range finding study found slight erythema at 100% (undiluted) concentrations of the test substance, therefore, for the purposes of the sensitization study the concentration of 50% , which produced only very slight erthyema, was used.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal then epicutaneous)
- Exposure period: 48 hours (epicutaneous)
- Test groups: 1st induction (0.05 mL): TS (10%) + Oleum arachidis; TS (10%) + FCA; FCA (undiluted). 2nd induction (0.5 mL): TS (50%) in Oleum arachidis
- Control group: 1st induction (0.05 mL): FCA (undiluted); FCA + Oleum arachidis (10%); Oleum arachidis (undiluated); . 2nd induction (0.5 mL): Oleum arachidis (undiluted)
- Site: back (skin areas situated bilaterally to the spin)
- Duration: 3 weeks
- Concentrations: same as mentioned above throughout the study


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1 (epicutaneous)
- Day(s) of challenge: 21
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups: 0.5 mL of TS (50%) in Oleum arachidis
- Control group: 0.5 mL of Oleum arachidis (undiluted)
- Site: Left clipped flank (Test group); Right clipped flank (control group)
- Concentrations: 50% TS
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h after removal of TS
