Any other information on results incl. tables

Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 70 %

Signs of irritation during induction:
Intradermal injection: Necrosis was recorded at sites receiving Freund's Complete Adjuvant in test and control
animals.  Slight irritation was seen in test animals at sites receiving LumiNova, 7.5% w/v in Alembicol D and slight
irritation was observed in control animals receiving Alembicol D alone.

Topical application:  Slight erythema was observed in test animals following topical application with LumiNova, 70% w/v
in Alembicol D and slight erythema was seen in the control guinea-pigs.

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration: None

Other observations: There were no dermal reactions seen in any of the test or control animals (isolated incidence of dryness and sloughing
was observed for two test animals).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In this study, LumiNova did not produce evidence of skin sensitisation (delayed contact hypersensitivity) in any of the ten test animalks.
