Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Since the LLNA is the preferred method for new in vivo testing, the use of the standard guinea pig tests to obtain new data on the skin sensitisation potential of a substance will be acceptable only in exceptional circumstances and will require scientific justification. However, existing data of good quality that were generated before 10 May 2017, or for which the study was initiated before 10 May 2017, and derived from such tests are acceptable; and if these tests provide clear results that are adequate for classification, even when a conclusion on potency (Cat. 1A or not) cannot be drawn, they will preclude the need for further in vivo testing.

Patch Sensitization:
Six days after the intradermal sensitization, the fur in the sensitization regions of the animals in the control groups and the test agent group were shaved by an electric clipper and an electric shaver, then sodium lauryl sulfate (contains 10% petrolatum) was applied. Seven days after the intradermal sensitization, the control group were applied with ¿distilled injection water¿, the test agent group with 25 % test agent, and the positive control group with 0.5 % DNCB, by placing 24 cm lints (Nankai Sangyou Co.) moistened with 0.2 ml each of the preparation on the shaved sensitization regions and by covering them with rubber dam sheets (Nihon Rikagaku Industry Co., Ltd.), then the trunks were wrapped with Dermicel (Johnson & Johnson K.K.) for 48 hours for occlusive dressing

Elicitation Treatment (challenge):
Fourteen days after the start of the patch sensitization, the flank fur of the animals were shaved by an electric clipper and an electric shaver, and for the control group and the test agent group, the areas were applied with 25% test agent and 2.5% test agent to each group, respectively, by placing 22 cm lints moistened with 0.1 ml of the preparation, and by covering them with oilpaper and rubber dam sheets, then the trunks were wrapped with Dermicel (Johnson & Johnson K.K.) for 24 hours for occlusive dressing. For the positive control group, 0.1% DNCB was applied by placing 22 cm lints moistened with 0.1 ml of the preparation and by covering them with rubber dam sheets, then the trunks were wrapped with Dermicel (Johnson & Johnson K.K.) for 24 hours for occlusive dressing


Challenge controls:
25% test agent
- 2.5 g of the test agent was suspended in ¿distilled injection water¿ to make 10 ml.
2.5% test agent
- 0.25 g of the test agent was suspended in ¿distilled injection water¿ to make 10 ml.
0.1% DNCB

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
0.1% DNCB elicited region: Diffused moderate erythema or severe erythema and edema were acknowledged in every sample 24 and 48 hours after the elicitation patch removal. Furthermore, scab formations were acknowledged in 4/5 cases after both 24 and 48 hours, and desquamation were acknowledged in all cases after 48 hours. The average scores 24 and 48 hours after the elicitation patch removal were 3.0 and 2.8, respectively.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Since no skin reaction was acknowledged in the elicited region of either the test agent group or the control group, it was surmised that TZ-3y does not have skin sensitizing potential under the conditions of this test. On the other hand, it was confirmed that DNCB, the positive control agent, has an extreme skin sensitizing potential.
