Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
2 male and 2 female guinea pigs/group tested with intradermal injection at 0.05, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 % w/v 2-methyl-2-butene in corn oil. 2 male and 2 female guinea pigs/group treated with a topical application of 100%, 50% or 25% 2-methyl-2-butene in corn oil.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
Test animals:
2 x 0.1mL injections of Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA)
2 x 0.1 mL injections of TS in corn oil
2 x 0.1 mL injections of TS in 50:50 FCA/corn oil
Control animals:
2 x 0.1mL injections of Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA)
2 x 0.1 mL injections of corn oil
2 x 0.1 mL injections of 50:50 FCA/corn oil

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
Topical challenge of test and control animals was carried out two weeks after the topical induction with 0.15 mL of a 25% w/v preparation of 2-methyl-2-butene in corn oil. After 24 hours the patch was removed and the site was examined for response, immediately, 24 hours and 48 hours after removal. The responses were scored using a standard four point scale.
