No. of animals per dose:
Test groups: 5/sex as controls; 10/sex as treated
Details on study design:
- Day 1 = Intradermal route/ induction: 2x 3 injections of 0.1ml each in the scapular area, including: FCA/NACl 50/50; Thiofestermet at 1% in corn oil; Thiofestermet 1% in FCA/NACl (50/50)
- Day 7 = induction of local irritation by lauryl sulfate cutaneous application
- Day 8 = Cutaneous route/ induction: application of the test item for 48h in the same area, using adhesive occlusive dressing
