- Criteria used to consider a positive response:

lf a test substance does not show a statistically significant increase in ceII count and/or lymph node weight as compared to the vehicle control in the presence of statistically significantly increased ear weights as indication of skin irritation, it is considered not to be a sensitizer.

lf at least one concentration tested causes a concentration dependent statistically significant increase in cell count and/or lymph node weight without being accompanied by a statistically significant increase in ear weight, the test substance is considered to be a sensitizer.

lf statistically significant increases in ear weights are running in parallel to the increase in ceII count and/or lymph node weight, it cannot be ruled out, that the lymph node response was caused by irritation and not by skin sensitization. Then, for identification of the relevance of the statistical evaluation, a comparison of the results of the present test to appropriate historical control values is performed. lt one or a combination of the measured parameters change statistical significance, evaluation on basis of the criteria described above may be possible. lf the statistical comparison with
the historical control does not yield results useful tor evaluation, further investigations may be necessary to differentiate between irritation and sensitization response.

lf a test substance does not elicit a statistical significant increase in lymph node weight and/or cell count but shows a clear concentration related increase in response, further investigating of the sensitization potential at higher concentrations would be considered.
