RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Compound solubility: 50% test item in DMSO was the maximum technically applicable concentration.
- Irritation: No remarkable changes in the ear thickness at the application site was detected in any of the animals, Thus, the test item was concluded to be not irritating under the conditions of the preliminary test.
- Systemic toxicity: No signs of systemic toxicity were observed in any of the animals.
- Body weights: All animals gained body weight as expected.
Based on the outcome of the reliminary test, the animals were treated with the test item up to the maximum technically applicable concentration (50% (w/v) in DMSO) in the main test.

MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: 3H-methyl thymidine incorporation determined by ß-scintillation
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: The proliferative response of lymph node cells was expressed as the number of radioactive disintegrations per min per lymph node (DPM/node) and as the ration of 3H-methyl thymidine-incorporation into lymph node cells of test group animals relative to that recorded for control group animals (Stimulation Index). Before DPM/node values were determined, background values were substracted.
EC3 values, calculated concentrations which induce Stimulation Indices of 3, are determined by linear interpolation, EC3=c+[(3-d)/(b-d)]x(a-c), between two points of the Stimulation Indices axis, one above (a,b) and one below (c,d) the Stimulation Index of 3. If all measured points are above or below the Stimulation Index of 3, no EC3 value can be stated.
A substance is regarded as a skin sensitiser in the LLNA, if at least one concentration of the test item results in a 3-fold or greater increase in 3H-methyl thymidine-incorporation into lymph node cells of the test group animals, relative to that recorded for the lymph nodes of control group animals.

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
- Dose groups: 3 test groups (3 different concentrations) and one negative control group (vehicle)were tested.
- Test regime:
Topical application: Each mouse was treated by topical application of 25 µL of the selected solution to the entire dorsal surface of each ear. Topical applications were performed once daily over 3 consecutive days.
Administration of 3H-methyl thymidine: 5 days after the first topical application all mice were dosed with 20 µCi 3H-methyl thymidine by intravenous injection (tail vein) of 250 µL of 3H-methyl thymidine, diluted to a working concentration of 80 µCi/mL.
Preparation of cell suspension: Approximately 5 h after the injection of 3H-methyl thymidine all mice were sacrificed. The draining auricular lymph nodes were excised, weighed, individually pooled for each animal (2 lymph nodes per animal) and collected in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). A single cell suspension of pooled lymph node cells was prepared by gentle mechanical disaggregation throughout polyamide gauze (200 mesh size). After washing the gauze with PBS the cell suspensio was pelleted in a centrifuge. The supernatan was discarded and the pellets were resuspended with PBS. This washing procedure was repeated. After the final wash each pellet was resuspended in approximately 1 mL 5% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) at approximately 4 °C for approximately 18 h for precipitation of macromolecules. Each precipitate was once washed again, resuspended in 1 mL 5% TCA and 7 mL scintillation fluid was added. Then this solution was transferred into scintillation vials and stored at room temperature overnight.
Determination of incorporated 3H-methyl thymidine: The 3H-methyl thymidine -incorporation was measured in a ß-counter and expressed as the number of disintegrations per minute (DPM). Similarly, background 3H-methyl thymidine levels were also measured (5% TCA). Determination of radioactivity was performed individually for each animal.
Positive control substance(s):
other: p-Phenylendiamine (CAS 106-50-3, Sigma, purity > 98%; lot no. 060M0186V6), 1% in DMSO
Statistics:
linear interpolation for the calculation of EC3 values
