MAIN STUDY

A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 - intadermal and topical
- Exposure period: 7 days for first induction and 14 days for second induction.


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: Day 21
- Exposure period: 24hr occlusive bandage
- Test groups:
- Site:left flank - 25% test substance in corn oil; right flank - 100% test substance
- Evaluation (hr after challenge):24 and 48 hr after treatment- local reaction (erythema, edema)

Body weights were measured twice during the pretreatment period and on the days of the first and second inductions and the challenge and on the day of the final observation period.
Challenge controls:
10 animals with water for 1st and 2nd induction. Challenge: a) 25% in corn oil and b) 100%
Positive control substance(s):
no
