Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Magnusson-Kligman Maximisation test: Magnusson B, Kligman AM (1969), J Invest Dermat, 52, 268 - 276.: A group of guinea pigs were exposed to the test material by a two-part induction period, followed by a challenge procedure. The induction period consisted of an Injection phase, in which the shaved flanks of the guinea pigs were injected with an adjuvant, the test material at 10% in paraffin oil, and a 50/50 mixture of the test material and adjuvant. The second phase of the induction involved provoking a mild inflammatory response on the animals' skin using 10% aqueous sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS). 24 hours after the exposure to SLS, the neat test material was applied directly to the injection site and held there for 48 hours. During each phase of the induction procedure, observations were made to assess any irritant effects.
The Challenge procedure was conducted two weeks after the topical induction procedure, and involved a further topical application of the test material for 24 hours. - GLP compliance:
- yes
- Remarks:
- The study report includes a statement of GLP compliance signed by the Study Director, however the report does not include an independant certificate of GLP accreditation issued by a competent authority or similar document.
- Type of study:
- guinea pig maximisation test
- Justification for non-LLNA method:
- Adequate data from an in vivo LLNA skin sensitisation study was available

- Injections - 100%, 50%, 25% and 10% v/v in paraffin oil
- Topical application - 100%, 50%, 25% and 10% v/v in paraffin oil
The injection sites were assessed for irritation 24, 48 and 72 h after injection, and the topical application sites were assessed for irritation 24 and 48 h after patch removal.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Exposure period: Injection exposure was conducted 7 days prior to topical application (6 days prior to SLS provocation of inflammatory response). Topical application remained in place for 48 hours.
- Test groups: Test group received injections of
(a) 0.10 mL Freunds Complete Adjuvant,
(b) 0.10 mL Test Material, and
(c) 0.10 mL of a 50/50 emulsion of Freunds Complete Adjuvant and test material.
Topical application used a 2 x 4 cm patch of chomatography paper charged with 100% test material.
- Control group: Doses as per the test group, but with paraffin oil in place of test material.
- Site: Hair was shaved from an area 4 x 6 am across the scapular region. Injections were given 3 in a line each side of and parallel to the mid-line in the shaved region.
- Frequency of applications: Single injected and topical applications.
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 2 weeks after the start of the topical induction.
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups: Test and control groups were challenged both with patches of 100% test material, and with paraffin oil.
- Site: A 5 x 5 cm area of the left flank.
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours. - Challenge controls:
- The challenge procedure used patches treated with neat test material and paraffin oil.
- Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- The sensitivity of this strain of guinea pig to a known sensitiser, 2,4-dinitro-chlorobenzene (DNCB), is checked at 6 monthly intervals.

Any other information on results incl. tables
None of the animals in the test group showed positive reactions to the challenge applications. Three of the animals in the control group, which had been induced only with the vehicle (paraffin oil) showed reactions to the test material during the challenge procedure. One animal in the control group showed a reaction to the vehicle in the challenge procedure.
Bodyweight gains recorded throughout the study were acceptable.
No clinical signs, other than skin reactions induced by treatment were noted.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- There was no evidence from the test results that the test material is a sensitiser in Guinea Pigs.
- Executive summary:
The sensitisation potential of a test material, MMB-Ac, was investigated by means of the Magnusson-Kligman Maximisation Test in guinea pigs.
Induction with MMB-Ac was at concentrations of 10% v/v in paraffin oil (injection) and 100% (topical). Challenge was at a concentration of 100% .
At challenge, none of the test group animals treated with MMB-Ac at a concentration of 100% showed a positive response. An irritant
response was noted in 3 of the control group animals to the test material with one of them also reacting positively to the vehicle, paraffin oil. There is no evidence from the test results that MMB-Ac is a sensitiser in guinea pigs.
