Title:
Structure activity relationships in a skin sensitization using the murine local lymph node assay
Author:
Ashby J, Basketter DA, Paton D AND Kimber I
Year:
1995
Bibliographic source:
Toxicology 103: 177-194

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Proliferation of local lymph node was determined by means of increased 3H-thymidine incorporation. A threefold increase compared with vehicle-treated controls was considered to be determinant of sensitising capacity.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
mouse local lymph node assay (LLNA)
