MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- Test groups: 20 animals (10 m/10 f)
- Control group: 20 animals (10 m/10 f)
First, two intradermal injections (0.1 ml per injection) were made into the neck of the guinea pigs with a mixture of adjuvant and saline, with the test compound in sesame oil and with the test compound in the adjuvant saline mixture. Concentration of the test compound was 1%. Control animals received the same pairs of injections but without the test article (vehicle only).
One week later the test substance was incorporated in vaseline at a concentration of 30% (0.4 g) and applied on a filter paper patch to the neck of the animals (occlusive administration for 48 hours). Control animals were treated with vaseline alone.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: once
- Day(s) of challenge: two weeks after the epidermal induction
- Exposure period: 24 h occlusive application
- Site: on the flank of the guinea pig
- Concentrations: 10% test item in vaseline and the vehicle alone
- Evaluation: Twenty four hours after removing the dressings, the challenge reactions were graded according the Draize scoring scale

The concentrations of the test compound for induction and challenge periods were determined on separate animals.

Challenge controls:

A control group of 20 animals (10 m/10 f) was treated with adjuvant and the vehicle during the induction period. During the challenge period, the group was treated with the vehicle as well as with the test item to check the maximum subirritant concentration of the test article in adjuvant treated animals.

Positive control substance(s):

Executive summary:

In a guinea pig maximization test according to OECD guideline No. 406, 10 male and 10 female animals were first induced and then challenged with the test article to investigate its sensitization potential. Induction was a two-stage operation: First, three pairs of intradermal injections (1 % test substance in sesame oil) were made into the neck of the animals with a 1:1 mixture (v/v) of FCA/ physiological saline, the test substance in sesame oil, and the test substance in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) of FCA/ physiological saline. One week later, the test article was incorporated in vaseline at a concentration of 30% and applied on a filter paper patch to the neck of the animals (occlusive administration for 48 hours). Two weeks after the epidermal induction application the animals were tested on the flank with 10% test substance in vaseline and the vehicle alone (24 h occlusive application). Twenty four hours after removing the dressings the challenge reactions were graded according the Draize scoring scale. A second evaluation was made 48 hours after removing the dressings. A control group (20 m/20 f) was treated with adjuvant and the vehicle during the induction period. During the challenge period the group was treated with the vehicle as well as with the test compound to control the maximal subirritant concentration of the test compound in adjuvant treated animals. No animal of the test group was sensitized by the test substance, all skin reactions at 24 and 48 hour time points were scored 0. Therefore, under the experimental conditions of this study, the test material is non-sensitizing when topically applied to albino guinea pigs.
