Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Magnusson and Kligman
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A range finding test used groups of two male and two female guinea-pigs to determine the concentrations of test material to be used for intradermal induction, topical induction and topical challenge.

Induction was accomplished via two rows of three intradermal injections. Topical application occurred one week after intradermal injections to the same area as the induction phase.

The challenge procedure was carried out two weeks after topical induction.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Based on the responses the material is not considered to be a skin sensitizer in quinea-pigs.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study using Internal Olefin 114 LP11 in corn oil, ten male and ten female guinea pigs were tested using the method of Magnusson and Kligman.

 

Using a scoring method of -ve, trace, +ve, and ++ve, erythema responses to the topical challenge dose was tabulated. Based on these results,  Internal Olefin 114 LP11 is not a dermal sensitizer.

 

This study received a Klimisch score of 2 and is classified as reliable with restriction because although it is an acceptable and well documented study report a GLP statement was not provided and details regarding the test material and animal husbandry was not provided.
