ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: A chemical was regarded as a sensitizer in the LLNA if at least one concentration of the chemical resulted in a three-fold or greater increase in ³HTdR incorporation compared to the control values. Also the data had to be compatible with a biological dose response although an allowance was made, especially at high doses, for either local toxicity or immunological suppression.
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Groups of 4 mice were treated by a daily topical application of 25 µL of each test substance concentration on the dorsal surface of each ear for 3 consecutive days. The negative control group was treated with vehicle only. Four days after the first topical application, all mice were injected intraveniously through the tail vein with 20 µCi [³H]methyl thymidine (³HTdR) in 250 µL phosphate buffered saline (PBS). After 5 h, the mice were killed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation and the draining auricular lymph nodes were excised and pooled for each group. A single cell suspension of lymph node cells was prepared. ³HTdR incorporation was measured by β-scintillation counting. - Positive control substance(s):
- mercaptobenzothiazole (CAS No 149-30-4)
