- Guideline:
- other: Ocular Irritation Assay for Irritant/Non-Irritant classification using the EpiOcular Human Tissue Model.
- Deviations:
- no
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- This method has been designed to predict and classify the occular irritation potential of a chemical by assessment on its effect on EpiOcular, a non-ocular human epithelial cell model. Cytotoxicity is expressed as the reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from MTT after test material exposure. The EpiOcular Eye Irritation Test (EIT) protocol has been pre-validated by COLIPA and is currently under validation by ECVAM (validation still ongoing).
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Species:
- other: in vitro: EpiOcular human tissue model
- Strain:
- other: n/a
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- The test was performed with the EpiOcular corneal model (MatTek). The model consists of normal, human-derived epidermal keratinocytes that have been cultured to form a stratified, squamous epithelium similar to that found in the cornea. The epidermal cells, which are cultured on specially prepared cell culture inserts using serum free medium differentiate to form a multi-layered structure which closely parallels the corneal epithelium.

- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- other: additional tissue was available for negative and positive control groups.
- Amount / concentration applied:
- Test Material:
50 mg of test material was applied directly to the surface of the EpiOcular tissue.

50 ul methyl acetate.
Negative control:
50 ul of distilled water. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 90 minutes
- Details on study design:
- Pre-test: to check the MTT reducing ability of the test material, 50mg of the test material was mixed with 500 ul of MTT medium and incubated for 2 hours at room temperature.
Main test: The test was performed on each dose group in duplicate, together with negative and positive controls. After dosing, the tissues were incubated for 90 +/- 5 minutes at 37 +/- 1 degrees C, 5% CO2 / 95% air. After the exposure period, tissues were rinsed with DPBS to remove test material. Tissues were then transferred to an post-soak plate (with prewarmed assay medium) and incubated for 12 minutes at room temperature. These tissues were further transferred to a post treatment plate (containing prewarmed assay medium) and incubated for 18 +/- 0.25 h at 37 +/- 1 degrees C, 5% CO2 / 95% air. After this incubation period, determination of the cytotoxic effect was performed. Tissues were transferred into an MTT assay plate (containing prewarmed MTT solution) and incubated for 180 +/- 10 minutes at 37 +/- 1 degrees C, 5% CO2 / 95% air. After incubation, tissues were transferred to 'extraction plates' containing 2ml of isopropanol and kept overnight (in sealed bags to reduce evaporation of isopropanol) in the dark at 2-8 degrees C. Tissue were then discarded and the OD of the extracts were measured using a spectrophotometer. - Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the test material showed no irritant effects producing a mean relative tissue viability of 68.8%. Therefore the test material is considered to be a non-irritant. The positive and negative control groups achieved the expected result and confirm the validity of this study.
- Executive summary:
This study protocol is based on pre-validated ocular Irritation Assay for Irritant/Non-Irritant classification using the EpiOcular Human Tissue Model guideline.
