MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal and epicutaneous, respectively)
- Exposure period: Day 1 (intradermal) and Days 7-9 (epicutaneous)
- Test groups:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections):
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture FCA/water
Injection 2: fluroxypyr methyl ester at 0.5% (w/w) in 5% acetone in Alembicol
Injection 3: fluroxypyr methyl ester at 0.5% (w/w) in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/5% acetone in Alembicol

Epicutaneous: On Day 6 the exposure site was pre-treated by gentle rubbing with 0.2 mL per site of 10% w/w sodium lauryl sulphate in petrolatum. On Day 7 a filter paper (2 x 4 cm) was saturated with approx. 0.4 mL of fluroxypyr methyl ester, 75% w/w in acetone and applied to the test area of clipped skin and held in contact by an occlusive dressing for 48 h.

- Control group:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections):
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water
Injection 2: 5% acetone in Alembicol
Injection 3: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/5% acetone in Alembicol

Epicutaneous: On Day 6 the exposure site was pre-treated by gentle rubbing with 0.2 mL per site of 10% w/w sodium lauryl sulphate in petrolatum. On Day 7 a filter paper (2 x 4 cm) was saturated with approx. 0.4 mL of 5% acetone in Alembicol and applied to the test area of clipped skin and held in contact by an occlusive dressing for 48 h

- Site: dorsal skin on the scapular region
- Frequency of applications: single
- Duration: Days 1-9

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day of challenge: 21
- Exposure period: Days 21-23
- Test groups: test substance
- Control group: test substance
- Site: left flank
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
The sensitivity of the guinea-pig strain used is checked periodically at H.R.C. with formalin, a known sensitizer.
