MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
* Intradermal induction: - On day 1, 3 injections are realized on each side of the scapular area:- 0.1mL of Freund's complete adjuvant at 50% in 0.9%NaCl- 0.1mL of the test item at 10 % (w/w) (for treated group) or 0.1mL of vehicle (corn oil) (for control group)- 0.1mL of a mixture 50/50 (v/v) of Freund's complete adjuvant in 0.9% NaCl and the test item at 10 % (w/w) (for treated group) or the vehicle (corn oil) (for control group).
* Cutaneous induction: - As the test item was shown to be irritant during the preliminary test, no topical application of sodium lauryl sulfate was required on day 7. On day 8, occlusive application on the scapular area of a pad of filter paper (approximately 8 cm 2) which was fully-loaded with the undiluted test item (for treated group) or vehicle (acetone)(for control group) for 48hours
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
D22On day 22, 24 hours occlusive application on the scapular area of a filter paper of a chamber (Finn Chamber ®) fully-loaded with50 % (w/w) test item on the right flank and of the vehicle (acetone) on the left flank.
Reactions are evaluated 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing
Challenge controls:
Veihcle (acetone) only
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Mercaptobenzothiazole

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
October 2007-CIT Study n°: 33771 RDG
Mercaptobenzothiazole: Positive result in recent study on 10 females. Induction: test substance injected intradermally 1.0 % (d1) and applied cutaneously 20% (d8). Challenge (d22): 20% r flank control l flank. In the test a positive skin sensitisation reaction was recorded in 50 % (5/10) guinea pigs.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under these experimental conditions and according to the Magnusson and Kligman method, the test item TRICHLOROETHANE-1.1.1 NOT STABILIZED at the concentration of 50 % (w/w) induced positive skin sensitization reactions in 3/20 guinea pigs and is not considered as skin sensitizer.
Executive summary:

The delayed contact hypersensivity of TRICHLOROETHANE-1.1.1 NOT STABILIZED was evaluated in Guinea pigs according to OECD N°406 guideline (Magnusson and Kligman test).

The induction phase has been realized both by intradermal route on day 1 (10% in corn oil) and by cutaneous route on day 8 (undiluted) in 2 groups of guinea pigs: 5 males and 5 females for control group and 10 males and 10 females for treated group. The challenge phase was realized on day 22 by cutaneous application of 50 % (w/w)on the right (acetone on the left); the cutaneous reactions were scored 24 and 48 hours after the challenge phase.

In conclusion, the test item was considered as not sensitizing in guinea pigs.
