MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: LLNA
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: a stimulation index ≥ 3, together with consideration of dose-response

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Groups of mice are exposed daily, for 3 consecutive days, to various concentrations of the test chemical or to the relevant vehicle alone, on the dorsum of both ears. Subsequently on 5 days following the initiation of exposure, mice are injected intravenously with [3H]thymidine and activity measured as a function of isotope incorporation in draining auricular lymph nodes (Kimber and Basketter, 1992).
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Groups of mice are exposed daily, for 3 consecutive days, to various concentrations of the test chemical or to the relevant vehicle alone, on the dorsum of both ears. On day 5 following the initiation of exposure, mice are injected intravenously with [3H]thymidine and activity measured as a function of isotope incorporation in draining auricular lymph nodes (Kimber and Basketter, 1992). A stimulation index ≥ 3, together was observed in all concentration. Therfore nonanoylchlorid is regarded as sensitizing in the LLNA.

Due to the sturctural similarity the same result is expected for 2-Ethyl-hexanoyl-chloride.
