MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: murine Local Lymph Node Assay
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: stimulation Index SI >= 3 and dose-relationship; additional consideration of ear thickness
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
- Treatment preparation: the test item was prepared at the chosen concentrations in the vehicle.
The positive control was dissolved in AOO at the concentration of 25% (v/v).
- Administration:
On days 1, 2 and 3 at approximately the same time each day, a dose-volume of 25 µL of the control or dose formulation preparations was applied to the dorsal surface of both ears, using an adjustable pipette fitted with a plastic tip.
In order to avoid licking and to ensure an optimized application of the test materials, the animals were placed under light isoflurane anesthezia during the administration.
No massage was performed but the tip was used to spread the preparation over the application sites. No rinsing was performed between each application. - Positive control substance(s):
- other: a-hexyl cinnamaldehyde (HCA)
- Statistics:
- no
- Positive control results:
- The threshold positive value of 3 for the SI was reached in the positive control group (see Executive summary).

". - Executive summary:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of the test item to induce contact hypersensitivity using the murine Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA).
This study was conducted in compliance with OECD Guideline No. 429 and the principles of Good Laboratory Practices.
Methods
To assess the irritant potential of the test item (through ear thickness measurement), a preliminary test was first performed in order to define the test item concentrations to be used in the main test. Two groups of two female mice received the test item by topical route to the dorsal surface of both ears (one concentration per ear) on days 1, 2 and 3 at concentrations of 10, 25, 50 or 100% under a dose-volume of 25 µL. From day 1 to day 3 then on day 6, the thickness of both ears of each animal was measured and the local reactions were recorded. Each animal was observed once a day for mortality and clinical signs. Body weight was recorded once during the acclimation period, and then on days 1 and 6. On completion of the observation period, the animals were sacrificed then discarded without macroscopic post-mortem examination.
In the main test, five groups of four female mice received the test item by topical route to the dorsal surface of both earson days 1, 2 and 3 at concentrations of 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100% under a dose-volume of 25 µL. One negative control group of four females received the vehicle (acetone/olive oil(4/1; v/v)) under the same experimental conditions. Additionally, one positive control group of four females received the positive control, a-hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA), at 25% in a mixture acetone/olive oil (4/1; v/v) under the same experimental conditions.
From day 1 to day 3 then on day 6, the thickness of the left ear of each animal was measured, except in animals of the positive control group, and the local reactions were recorded. Each animal was observed once a day for mortality and clinical signs. Body weight was recorded once during the acclimation period, and then on days 1 and 6.
After 2 days of resting, on day 6, the animals received a single intravenous injection of tritiated methyl thymidine (3H-TdR). Approximately 5 hours later, the animals were sacrificed and the auricular lymph nodes were excised. The proliferation of lymphocytes in the lymph nodes draining the application site was measured by incorporation of 3H-TdR.
The results are expressed as disintegrations per minute (dpm) per group and as dpm/node. The obtained values were used to calculate Stimulation Indices (SI).
Results
No unscheduled deaths and no clinical signs indicative of systemic toxicity were observed during the observation period. Body weight of animals was unaffected by the test item treatment.
No local reactions were observed in any animals. No notable increase in ear thickness was observed at any tested concentrations.
The threshold positive value of 3 for the SI was reached in the positive control group (SI = 4.17). The experiment was therefore considered valid.
A significant dose-related lymphoproliferation (SI > 3) was noted at 25, 50 and 100%. In the absence of local irritation, the significant lymphoproliferative responses observed were attributed to delayed contact hypersensitivity. The EC3 value is equal to 19%.
Conclusion
Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test item gave a positive result in the murine Local Lymph Node Assay, indicative of skin sensitization properties.
According to the EC3 value obtained, the test item should be considered as a weak sensitizer.
According to the criteria of CLP Regulation, the test item should be classified as skin sensitizer (category 1 and sub-category 1B) and assigned the signal word "warning" and the hazard statement "H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction".
