Details on study design:

For determination of the highest non-irritant and technically applicable test item concentration, a non-GLP pretest was performed on two mice
with concentrations of 2.5, 5, 10, and 25 % (w/v). The top dose of the test item is the highest technically achievable concentration whilst avoiding
systemic toxicity and excessive local irritation. Four female mice were treated with different concentrations of the test item and vehicle alone by
topical application at the dorsum of each ear lobe (left and right) on three consecutive days. Five days after the first topical application, the mice were intravenously injected into a tail vein with radio-labelled thymidine (3H-methyl thymidine).
Five hours after intravenous injection, the mice were sacrificed and the draining auricular lymph nodes excised and pooled per group.
Single cell suspensions of lymph node cells were prepared from pooled lymph nodes which were subsequently washed and incubated with
trichloroacetic acid overnight. The proliferative capacity of pooled lymph node cells was determined by the incorporation of 3H-methyl
thymidine measured in a ß-scintillation counter.

Positive control substance(s):

hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Statistics:

The proliferative response of lymph node cells is expressed as the number of radioactive disintegrations per
minute per lymph node and as the ratio of 3HTdR incorporated into lymph node cells of test lymph nodes relative to that recorded for
control lymph nodes (stimulation index). Before DPM/node values were determined, mean scintillation-background DPM was subtracted from test andcontrol raw data.
The mean values and standard deviations were calculated in the body weight tables.

A statistical analysis was conducted for assessment of the dose-response relationship, and the EC3 value was calculated according to the equation
EC3 = (a-c) [(3-d)/(b-d)] + c
where EC3 is the estimated concentration of the test item required to produce a 3-fold increase in draining lymph node cell proliferative activity;
(a, b) and (c, d) are respectively the co-ordinates of the two pair of data lying immediately above and below the S.I. value of
3 on the local lymph node assay dose response plot.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

The test item Acetoacet-o-Chloroanilide was found to be not a skin sensitiser.

Executive summary:

The LLNA study was documented and performed in year 2004 according to GLP standards and in compliance with OECD Guideline 429: Skin sensitization: Local Lymph Node Assay. As test system Mice, strain CBA/CaOlaHsd was used. Upon sponsor's request the data of and additional validation- / positive control study performed under GLP are included in the study report.

No deaths occurred during the study period. No symptoms of local toxicity at the ears of the animals and no systemic findings were observed during the study period. The body weights of the animals, recorded prior to the 1st application and prior to necropsy was within the range commonly recorded for animals of this strain and age.

The estimated concentration of test item required to produce an S.I. of 3 is referred to as the EC3 value. In this study the EC3 value could not be calculated, since none of the tested concentrations induced an S.I. greater than 3.

Therefore, the test item Acetoaceto- Chloroanilide was not found to be a skin sensitiser.
