Test animals / tissue source
- Species:
- cattle
- Strain:
- not specified
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- The assay uses isolated corneas obtained as a by-product from animals freshly slaughtered at the abattoir A. Moksel AG, Buchloe, Germany.
On the test day, fresh eyes were collected from the slaughterhouse and were transported in HBSS containing Pen/Strep on ice to the laboratories. Immediately after arrival of the eyes, cornea preparation was initiated.
The eyes were carefully examined for defects and any defective eyes were discarded.
The tissue surrounding the eyeball was carefully pulled away and the cornea was excised leaving a 2 to 3 mm rim of sclera. The isolated corneas were stored in a petri dish containing HBSS. Before the corneas were mounted in corneal holders (Duratec GmbH) with the endothelial side against the O-ring of the posterior chamber, they had been visually examined for defects and any defective cornea had been discarded. The anterior chamber was then positioned on top of the cornea and tightened with screws. The chambers of the corneal holder were then filled with RPMI (without phenol red) containing 1% FBS and 2 mM L-glutamine (complete RPMI). The posterior chamber was always filled first. The corneas were incubated for one hour at 32 +/- 1 °C.

DECISION CRITERIA: IVIS = mean opacity value + (15 x mean permeability OD490 value)
IVIS UN GHS

Results and discussion
In vitro
Results
- Irritation parameter:
- in vitro irritation score
- Run / experiment:
- Test item
- Value:
- 14.71
- Vehicle controls validity:
- valid
- Negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Remarks on result:
- not determinable
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- OTHER EFFECTS:
All 3 corneas treated with test item showed dark blue stripes due to glued test item residues. It cannot be excluded that the opacity score may be related to the dark blue stripes of the tissue. But the read out of the present study yields no possibility to determine this finding.
ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
The in vitro irritation score obtained with the positive control fell within the two standard deviations of the current historical mean and therefore this assay is considered to be valid.
The negative control responses resulted in opacity and permeability values that are less than the established upper limits for background bovine corneas treated with the respective negative control.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Conclusions:
- No prediction can be made regarding the classification of the test substance according to the evaluation criteria. Further testing in another suitable method is required.
- Executive summary:
The eye irritancy potential of the test item was investigated in the bovine corneal opacity and permeability assay.
All 3 corneas treated with with the test item showed dark blue stripes due to glued test item residues. It cannot be excluded that the opacity score of the test item may be related to the dark blue stripes of the tissue. But the read out of the present study yields no possibility to determine this finding.
The following mean in vitro irritation score was calculated:
14.71
No prediction can be made regarding the classification of the test substance according to the evaluation criteria. Further testing is required.
