MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: local lymph node assay
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: The proliferation response of lymph node cells was expressed as the number of radioactive disintegrations per minute per lymph node (disintegrations per minute/node) and as the ratio of 3HTdR incorporation into lymph node cells of test nodes relative to that recorded for the control nodes (Stimulation Index).
The test material will be regarded as a sensitiser if at least one concentration of the test material results in a threefold or greater increase in 3HTdR incorporation compared to control values. Any test material failing to produce a threefold or greater increase in 3HTdR incorporation will be classified as a "non sensitiser".
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Preparation of Test Material
For the purpose of the study, the test material was freshly prepared as a solution in dimethyl formamide. This vehicle was chosen as it produced the highest concentration that was suitable for dosing. The concentrations used are given in the procedure section.
The test material was formulated within two hours of being applied to the test system. It is assumed that the formulation was stable for this duration.
No analysis was conducted to determine the homogeneity, concentration or stability of the test material formulation. This is an exception with regard to GLP and has been reflected in the GLP compliance statement.
Test material administration
Groups of four mice were treated with the test material at concentrations of 50%, 25% or 10% w/w in dimethyl formamide. The preliminary screening test suggested that the test material would not produce systemic toxicity or excessive local irritation at the highest suitable concentration. The mice were treated by daily application of 25 µl of the appropriate concentration of the test material to the dorsal surface of each ear for three consecutive days (Days 1, 2, 3). The test material formulation was administered using an automatic micropipette and spread over the dorsal surface of the ear using the tip of the pipette.
A further group of four mice received the vehicle alone in the same manner. - Positive control substance(s):

- Executive summary:
Introduction. A study was performed to assess the skin sensitisation potential of the test material in the CBA/Ca strain mouse following topical application to the dorsal surface of the ear. The method was designed to meet the requirements of the following:
§ OECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals No. 429 "Skin Sensitisation: Local Lymph Node Assay" (adopted 24 April 2002)
§ Method B42 Skin Sensitisation (Local Lymph Node Assay) of CommissionRegulation (EC) No. 440/2008
Methods. Following a preliminary screening test in which no clinical signs of toxicity were noted at a concentration of50% w/w, this concentration was selected as the highest dose investigated in the main test of the Local Lymph Node Assay. Three groups, each of four animals, were treated with 50 µl (25 µl per ear) of the test material as asolutionindimethyl formamideat concentrations of50%,25% or10% w/w. A further group of four animals was treated withdimethyl formamidealone.

No mortality occurred and no clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals of the main study. Body weights and body weight gain of experimental animals remained in the same range as controls over the study period.
All auricular lymph nodes of the animals of the experimental and control groups were considered normal in size.
No macroscopic abnormalities of the surrounding area were noted for any of the animals.
Mean DPM/animal values for the experimental groups treated with test item concentrations 2, 15 and 30% were 899, 780 and 584 DPM, respectively. The mean DPM/animal value for the vehicle control group was 911 DPM. The SI values calculated for the item concentrations 2, 15 and 30% were 1.0, 0.9 and 0.6, respectively.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
No data on skin sensitisation is available for the substance fatty acids lanolin lithium salts. Read across from dilithium adipate and fatty acids lanolin is used to complete the endpoint.
Both dilithium adipate and fatty acids, lanolin are considered not sensitising. The skin sensitisation study was conducted with dilithium adipate (C6) and read across to dilithium sebacate (C10). Testing was undertaken on dilithium adipate as a worst case scenario as this substance is the substance with the shortest chain length, and therefore highest proportion of lithium, in the lithium salts of dicarboxylic acids C6-10 category, which covered the registrations of dilithium adipate (EC 242-449-7), dilithium azelate (EC 254-184-4) and dilithium sebacate.
The skin sensitisation potential of fatty acids, lanolin was tested in a study according to OECD 429 guideline and the test material was considered to be a non-sensitiser under the conditions of the test.
Both studies are GLP-compliant, guideline studies, and have been assigned a Klimisch score of 1. Therefore, the data are considered to be reliable and adequate source studies.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
Negative results were produced in the studies with two read across substances, dilithium adipate and fatty acids lanolin.
Therefore, no classification is considered relevant for this endpoint for substance fatty acids lanolin lithium salts.
