Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
This study was conducted prior to the development of the LLNA assay. This test material and this class of chemistry in general has not shown skin sensitisation effects.

No. of animals per dose:
No data
Details on study design:
Induction was induced by the intradermal injection of a 5% solution of Meflex DC016 in olive oil homogenised with Freund's Complete Adjuvant, followed 7 days later by topical application of 20% solution of Meflex DC016 in olive oil. 2 weeks after topical induction, the animals were challenged with topical applications of 20% Meflex DC016 in olive oil. Erythema and oedema were scored after 24 and 48 hours.
