No. of animals per dose:
36 animals in total
(2x3 in the preliminary test, 20 animals in testing group, 10 animals in control group)
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: The minimal irritating doses were determined on 3 guinea-pigs. All animals were applied 0.1 mL 50 % Freundsche Adjuvans before the preliminary tests.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intracutaneous and epicutaneous), the epicutaneous injection was done 8 days after the first injection
- Exposure period: 48 hours
- Test groups:
Intracutaneous Application: 20 animals received 0.1 mL of the following solutions: 1. Freudsche Adjuvans, 2. the minimal concentration of the test substance, 3. the test substance in combination with the Freundsche Adjuvans
Epidcutaneous: 20 animals received 0.5 g of the minimal irritating concentration (60 % in vaseline)-

- Control group:
Intracutaneous application: 10 animals received the Freudsche Adjuvans but not the test substance.
Epicutaneous application: 10 animals received 0.5 g of the vehicle.
- Site: to the clipped site (shoulder-back region) of the animals (intracutaneous), to the again clipped same site as during the intracutaneous induction (epicutaneous)
- Concentrations: 0.3 % in NaCl (intracutaneous), 60 % in Vaseline (epicutaneous)
- Evaluation: After 1 and 24 hours (intracutaneous and epicutaneous)

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (1st: 40 % in Vaseline, 2nd: 40 % in NaCl)
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Observations: After 24 and 48 hours
- Test groups: 20 animals: The animals got the 0.1 mL of the 40 % test substance in vaseline.
- Control group: 10 animals: Also the control group got 0.1 mL of the 40 % test substance in vaseline.
- Site: To another clipped site of the animals
- Concentrations: 0.1 mL of the 40 % solution with Vaseline
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24, 48 hours

Challenge controls:
Two challenge controls were conducted, one with 40 % in Vaseline and one with 40 % in NaCl
