MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Local Lymph Node Assay.
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: Results are presented as test/control ratio (Stimulation index SI). A substance is regarded as a sensitiser in the LLNA if the test substance induces a 3-fold or greater increase in 3H-methyl thymidine incorporation into lymph node cells of test lymph nodes relative to that recorded for control lymph nodes, as indicated by the SI, together with the consideration of dose response.
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
- The test substance solutions were prepared freshly on each day of administration by the solution of the test substance in DMF (w/w).
- A solution of 25 % HCA in acetone:olive oil was prepared freshly on every day of administration.
- The test substance was administered in 3 concentrations to the dorsal surfaces of the ears of the animals of the test substance groups. 25 µL were applied. In a manner identical to that of animals in the treatment groups animals of one negative control group and one positive control group were treated with DMF and HCA respectively. Each animal was treated for 3 consecutive days. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- None, except for the calculation of means.
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- Application of 25 % HCA resulted in an SI of 29.9. This result proves the sensitivity of the strain of animals used and the reliability of the experimental technique.

- Mortality: All animals survived till the end of the study.
- General observations: No abnormal behaviour or clinical signs were detected during the experiment in the animals.
- Skin reactions: No local irritations were observed at the application sites of all animals of all test substance groups and the negative control group throughout the whole study.
- Body mass: Body masses and body mass gains of all animals were in the range to be expected from animals of the same strain, sex and age.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- sensitising
- Conclusions:
- Tazobactam Acid is regarded as a sensitiser in the LLNA, since the SIs of all examined test substance concentrations were clearly greater than 3.
- Executive summary:
Method
The Local Lymph Node Assay was performed to evaluate a possible skin sensitising potential of Tazobactam Acid according to the OECD-Guideline 429 and the EC Directive 2004/73/EC, method B.42.
The test substance was solved in N,N-Dimethylformamide and was administered to three groups of 5 female CBA/Ca mice. Administration was performed epicutaneously to the dorsal surface of both ears, once a day on three consecutive days. The volume administered was 25 µL per ear. Concentrations used: 0 - 10 - 25 - 33.1 %.
Two groups with 5 animals each served as positive and negative controls.
5 days after the first topical application,3H-methyl thymidine was intravenously administered to all mice via a tail vein. Approximately 5 hours later all animals were sacrificed, the draining auricular lymph nodes were excised. The proliferation of the lymphocytes of the draining lymph nodes was measured by the determination of the amounts of incorporate3H-methyl thymidine into the cells.
The stimulation index (SI) was calculated as the ratio of the disintegrations per minute (dpm) of the dosed groups or of the positive control group to the dpm of the negative control group.
Results
All animals survived till the end of the study.
No adverse effects were noted in any animal.
Body masses and body mass gains were in the range to be expected from animals of the same strain, sex and age.
No skin irritating effects at the application sites were observed in all animals of the test substance groups and the negative control group throughout the whole study.
Stimulation indices
The calculated stimulation indices of the test substance concentrations were 13.2 (low dose), 15.8 (mid dose) and 19.2 (high dose). According to the guidelines the decision process with regard to a positive response includes a stimulation index of equal to or greater than 3, together with consideration of dose-response.
Positive control
The positive control substance led to a stimulation index of 29.9, thus demonstrating the validity of the experiment.
Conclusion
"Tazobactam Acid" is regarded as a sensitiser in the LLNA.
