Description of key information

The skin sensitization potential of FAT 20290/B was evaluated in a study conducted according to OECD Guideline 406. The Guinea pigs tested included 10 (5 males and 5 females) animals in control group, 20 (10 males and 10 females) in the test group. The test group received following test concentrations: intradermal induction: 5 %, epidermal induction 50 %, epidermal challenge 10 %.

Under the experimental conditions employed, 15 % and 20 % of the animals of the test group showed skin reactions 24 and 48 hours after removing the dressings, respectively. Hence, it can be concluded that FAT 20290/B did not show a skin sensitizing (contact allergenic) potential in albino guinea pigs.

Details on study design:
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
The induction was a two-stage operation. First, intradermal injections (into the neck region); second, closed patch exposure over the injection sites one week later.
- First induction, intradermal injection: Three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 mL per injection) were made simultaneously into the shaved neck of the animals as follows:
- adjuvant and saline (1:1)
- test substance in physiological saline
- test substance in the adjuvant/saline mixture

- Second induction, epidermal application: One week later test substance was incorporated in vaseline and applied on a filter paper patch to the neck of the animals (patch 2 x 4 cm2; occluded administration for 48 h).
Dose of application: Approximately 0.4 g paste of 50 % test substance in vaseline.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
Two weeks after the epidermal induction application the animals were tested on the flank with test substance in vaseline and the vehicle alone (patch 2 x 2 cm²; occluded administration for 24 h).
Dose of application: Approximately 0.2 g paste of 10 % test substance in vaseline
The concentrations of the test substance for the induction and challenge periods were determined on separate animals.
Control group: A control group was treated with adjuvant and the vehicle during the induction period. During the challenge period the group was treated with the vehicle as well as with the test substance (at least 10 animals) to control the maximum subirritant concentration of the test substance in adjuvant treated animals.


OBSERVATIONS:
Induction reactions
After the intradermal and the epidermal induction application irritant reactions are normally induced by the adjuvant and the high test article concentration. Because most of the reactions are treatment related and not compound related, the reactions are only described in special cases in the section of results.

Challenge reactions
Twenty four and forty eight hours after removing the dressings, the challenge reactions were graded according to the Draize scoring scale.
