A total of 35 female animals were allocated into different groups: one experimental group of 20 animals and one group of 10 animals representing the control. The remaining five animals were used for primary irritation experiments.
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
The primary irritation experiments included an epicutaneous treatment of one animal with a single concentration (50 % w/w) of the test substance in aqueous methyl cellulose 1% (mainly to assess any toxic effects) and an application with four guinea pigs of several concentrations of the test substance: 50%, 25%, 10% and 5% (w/w) in aqueous methyl cellulose 1% (to assess primary irritancy). The first animal was exposed to 0.05 ml of each concentration using Square chambers, both applications for 24 hours. The treated skin of the first animal showed no irritation. No signs of systemic toxicity were observed in any of the five treated animals.


MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
Experimental animals were exposed to the test substance, suspended to a concentration of 50% (w/w) in 1% methyl cellulose in milli-RO water and control animals to the vehicle. The patch consisted of a piece of Metalline (approx. 2x3 cm), attached to aluminium foil by means of a bit of petrolatum, that was mounted on Sleek tape. On day 0, the experimental animals were clipped in an area of the skin on the back just behind the right shoulder girdle. Thereafter the animals were wrapped in a "window dressing" which consisted of Coban elastic bandage with an opening of approximately 2x3 cm above the clipped area. Immediately thereafter, the area was exposed to dry ice for 5 seconds and a patch with 0.2 ml test substance was applied for 48 hours. On day 2 the same application was repeated. On day 4, the dressing was removed and the exposed area was clipped again. A new patch with 0.2 ml test substance was applied for 6 hours. Further induction exposures were carried out on the same site with 0.5 ml of the test substance, with an exposure period of 6 hours on days 7, 9, 11, 14, 16 and 18. The patch was covered with Coban elastic bandage. After each application the remaining test substance was removed from the skin with a tissue moistened with tap-water and if necessary, the exposed skin was clipped.
The control animals were treated in a similar manner to the experimental animals, on the left flank from day 4 onwards, with the exception that only the vehicle was applied. The skin reactions were read at the end of the induction phase.


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
Ten days after the last induction exposure (day 28), the experimental and control animals were challenged to 50% (w/w) of the test substance in 1% methyl cellulose in milli-RO water and to the vehicle alone. The application was made to the clipped and shaved left flank of the experimental animals and on the right flank of the control animals using the same volume and the same patch as in the induction phase, and held in place with an elastic
