Test animals / tissue source

Species:
cattle
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
SOURCE OF COLLECTED EYES
- Source: local abattoir
- Number of animals: 3 tissues per study group
- Characteristics of donor animals: age 12 to 60 months old
- Storage, temperature and transport conditions of ocular tissue: transported to the test facility over ice packs on the same day of slaughter
- Time interval prior to initiating testing: The corneas were prepared immediately on arrival.
- indication of any existing defects or lesions in ocular tissue samples: only corneas free of damage were used.
- Indication of any antibiotics used: penicillin at 100 IU/mL and streptomycin at 100 µg/mL

Test system

Vehicle:
physiological saline
Amount / concentration applied:
0.75 mL of 20% w/v solution in sodium chloride 0.9% w/v
Duration of treatment / exposure:
240 minutes
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 corneas per test group
Details on study design:
TEST ITEM
- Batch: 02002IX3
- Purity: 99.9%
- Physical state/Appearance: white powder
- Expiry Date: 25 August 2017
- Storage Conditions: room temperature in the dark

NEGATIVE CONTROL USED
- Sodium chloride 0.9% w/v
Lot: 3012488
Purity: 0.9%
Expiry Date: 01 Nov018
Storage Conditions: room temperature

POSITIVE CONTROL USED
- Imidazole
- 20% w/v solution in sodium chloride 0.9% w/v.
- Batch: 163571
- Purity: ≥99%
- Expiry Date:01 May 2019
- Storage Conditions:room temperature in the dark

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: 3
- POST-EXPOSURE INCUBATION: yes. 90 minutes

METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: calibrated opacitometer
- Corneal permeability: Optical density at 492 nm (OD492) was measured using the Camspec Model M108 Spectrophotometer.
- Others: The corneas were retained after testing for possible conduct of histopathology

SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
In Vitro Irritancy Score = mean opacity value + (15 x mean permeability OD492 value)
