Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitizing
Conclusions:
After challenge no skin reactions were observed. Hence the test chemical was considered to be non sensitizing to the Himalayan spotted albino guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitization study of test chemical was performed in Himalayan spotted albino guinea pigs to observe its sensitizing efficacy for the period of 25 days. In induction treatment 10 females in test group, 5 females in control group were used. Animals were induced with intradermal induction of Freund´s Complete Adjuvant (FCA) and physiological saline (1:1), test item at 5% in 1 % CMC and 5 % dilution of the test item in 1% CMC in a 1:1 mixture with FCA / physiological saline on day 1. After 7 days, epidermal induction of sensitization (day 8) was conducted under occlusion with the test item at 50 % in 1 % CMC for 48 hours. The challenge was performed at day 22 by application of the test item at 10 % in 1 % CMC under occlusive patch for 24 h at a different part of the skin. Observations were made at 24 and 48 hours removal of the dressings. After challenge no skin reactions were observed. Hence the test chemical was considered to be non sensitizing to the Himalayan spotted albino guinea pigs.
