RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- No. of animals: 3 males and 3 females
Selection of 5% v/v for intradermal injection was based on the fact that 5% is the maximum concentration suggested by Magnusson and Kligman (1969), and it was not irritating in the screening test.
Undiluted test material was selected for the topical insult because it was requested by Ciba and it was not irritating in the screening test. The undiluted test material was also selected for the challenge because although slight irritation was seen with undiluted test material in pretest screening, no irritation was present after the topical treatment with undiluted test material.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: day 0: 3 pairs of intradermal injections, Day 6: Sodiumlauryl sulfate in pertolatum gently massaged into the skin, Day 7: epicutaneous exposure for 48 hours, Day 21: challenge epicutaneous exposure for 24 hours
- Test groups: First insult:
with 1) adjuvant diluted 50% v/v in an injectable isotonic saline solution, 2) a 5% v/v solution of the test material in cottonseed oil, and 3) a 50:50 mixture of adjuvant (diluted 50% v/v in an injectable isotonic saline solution) and the 5% v/v solution of the test material
Second insult:
the exposure sites of the test group animals were treated with the undiluted test material
- Control group: First insult:
with 1) adjuvant diluted 50% v/v in an injectable isotonic saline solution, 2) vehicle alone (cottonseed oil), and 3) a 50:50 mixture of adjuvant (diluted 50% v/v in an injectable isotonic saline solution) and the vehicle
Second insult:
the exposure sites of the control group animals were covered with a dry patch of filter paper
- Site: the upper back of each animal within a 4 x 6 cm exposure area running laterally across the shoulders (within a 2 x 4 cm area)
First pair of injections was made at the anterior edge of the exposure area
Second pair of injections :was made approximately 0.5 cm behind the first pair
Third pair of injections was made approximately 0.5 cm behind the second pair of injections.
- Concentrations:
First pair of injections consistes of Freund's Complete Adjuvant diluted to 50% v/v in 0.9% saline
Second pair of injections, consisting of a 5% v/v solution of the test material in cottonseed oil
Third pair of injections, consisting of a 50:50 mixture of Freund's Complete Adjuvant (diluted to 50% v/v in 0.9% saline) and a 5% /v solution of the test material in cottonseed oil


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 21
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups: A 2 x 2 cm patch of filter paper saturated with 0.5 ml of the undiluted test material
- Control group: in a manner identical to the Day 7 treatment (A patch of dry filter paper was placed over the exposure areas)
- Site: applied topically to the right flank of each test
- Concentrations: 100%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 48 hours

Grading of sensitization was based on Magnusson and Kligman (J. Invest. Dermat. 52: 268-276 (1969))
Challenge controls:
Control animals were treated at the same time periods and locations as the test group but with the vehicle used in place of the diluted test material for the intradermal mjections. The control animals received a topical application of dry filter paper only. Two weeks after the topical application, all animals were challenged with a topical application of the undiluted test material at a virgin test site.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
