other: T20-03: Magnusson-Kligman Maximization Test (Magnusson, B.,Kligman,A.M.,J.Invest.Dermat.,52,268-276,1969
Version / remarks:
1969
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The Magnusson-Kligman Maximization Test (Magnusson, B.,Kligman,A.M.,J.Invest.Dermat.,52,268-276,1969) with guinea pics was carried out or initiated before 11 October 2016. The test meets the requirements set out in Article 13(3), first subparagraph, and Article 13(4) and shall, therefore, be considered appropriate to address this standard information requirement for the skin sensitization endpoint.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Induction: Slight irritation was noted in the test group.
Challenge: Following challenge with the test material at a concentration of 100%, none of the 10 test group showed positive reactions to this application.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Conclusions:
A well conducted, well reported guinea-pig skin sensitization test (Magnusson-Kligman method) reported that a 10% concentration of the test material in water induced no sensitization response when challenged with 100% of the test substance. Appropriate concurrent negative compliance controls were included.
