- Topical Application
Each test group of mice was treated by topical (epidermal) application to the dorsal surface of each ear with different test item concentrations of 5, 10, and 25% (w/w) in acetone:olive oil (4+1 v/v). The application volume, 25 µL/ear/day, was spread over the entire dorsal surface ( 8 mm) of each ear once daily for three consecutive days. A further group of mice was treated with an equivalent volume of the relevant vehicle alone (control animals).
Administration of 3H-Methyl Thymidine
3H-methyl thymidine (3HTdR) was purchased from Hartmann Analytic, 38124 Braunschweig, Germany (specific activity, 2 Ci/mmol; concentration, 1 mCi/mL).
Five days after the first topical application (day 6) 250 µL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 20.2 µCi of 3HTdR (equivalent to 3HTdR 80.6 µCi/mL) were injected into each test and control mouse via the tail vein.
Determination of Incorporated 3HTdR
Approximately five hours after treatment with 3HTdR all mice were euthanised by intraperitoneal injection of Pentobarbital-Sodium (Release, WDT, 30827 Garbsen, Germany).
The draining lymph nodes were rapidly excised and pooled per animal (2 nodes per animal). Single cell suspensions (in phosphate buffered saline) of pooled lymph node cells were prepared by gentle mechanical disaggregation through stainless steel gauze (200 µm mesh size). After washing two times with phosphate buffered saline (approx. 10 mL) the lymph node cells were resuspended in 5 % trichloroacetic acid (approx. 3 mL) and incubated at approximately +4 °C for at least 18 hours for precipitation of macromolecules. The precipitates were then resuspended in 5 % trichloroacetic acid (1 mL) and transferred to plastic scintillation vials with 10 mL of ‘Ultima Gold’ scintillation liquid (Perkin Elmer (LAS) GmbH, 63110 Rodgau, Germany) and thoroughly mixed.
The level of 3HTdR incorporation was then measured on a -scintillation counter (Tricarb 2900 TR, Perkin Elmer (LAS) GmbH, 63110 Rodgau, Germany). Similarly, background 3HTdR levels were also measured in two 1ml-aliquots of 5 % trichloroacetic acid. The -scintillation counter expresses 3HTdR incorporation as the number of radioactive disintegrations per minute (DPM).
Interpretation of Raw Data
The proliferative response of the lymph node cells was expressed as the number of radioactive disintegrations per minute per lymph nodes of each animal (DPM/animal) and as the ratio of 3HTdR incorporated into lymph node cells of lymph nodes of test animals relative to that recorded for lymph nodes of control animals (Stimulation Index; S.I.). Before DPM/animal values were determined, mean scintillation-background DPM was subtracted from test and control raw data.
A test item is regarded as a sensitiser in the LLNA if the following criteria are fulfilled:
- First, that exposure to at least one concentration of the test item resulted in an incorporation of 3HTdR at least 3-fold or greater than that recorded in control mice, as indicated by the Stimulation Index.
- Second, that the data are compatible with a conventional dose response, although allowance must be made (especially at high topical concentrations) for either local toxicity or immunological suppression.
Observations
In addition to the sensitising reactions the following observations and data were recorded during the test and observation period:
Mortality / Viability: At least once daily from experimental start to necropsy.
Body weights: In the pre-test: prior to the first application and prior to sacrifice. In the main experiment: prior to the first application and prior to treatment with 3HTdR.
Ear thickness: In the pre-test prior to the first application of the test item (day 1), on day 3 and before sacrifice (day 6).
Ear weights: In the pre-test after sacrifice; biopsy punches were taken from each ear.
Clinical signs (local / systemic): Clinical signs (systemic toxicity or local skin irritation) were recorded at least once daily. Especially the treatment sites were observed carefully.
- Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- The mean values and standard deviations were calculated in the body weight tables and for the DPM values
(group mean DPM ± standard deviation).
The Dean-Dixon-Test was used for identification of possible outliers (performed with Microsoft Excel 2003).
However, both biological and statistical significance were considered together. - Positive control results:
- The sensitivity and reliability of the experimental technique employed was assessed by use of a substance which is known to have skin sensitisation properties in CBA/CaOlaHsd mice. The periodic positive control experiment was performed with -Hexyl cinnamaldehyde in acetone:olive oil (4+1 v/v) using CBA/CaOlaHsd mice in April 2012.

- Executive summary:
In the study the test item Isobornyl acrylate dissolved in acetone:olive oil (4+1 v/v) was assessed for its possible skin sensitising potential.
For this purpose a local lymph node assay was performed using test item concentrations of 5, 10, and 25% (w/w). The highest concentration tested was the highest concentration that could be achieved whilst avoiding systemic toxicity and excessive local skin irritation as confirmed by a pre-experiment.
The animals did not show any signs of systemic toxicity or local skin irritation during the course of the study and no cases of mortality were observed.
A test item is regarded as a sensitizer in the LLNA if exposure to one or more test item concentrations results in a 3-fold or greater
increase in incorporation of3HTdR compared with concurrent controls, as indicated by the Stimulation Index (S.I.). The estimated test item concentration required to produce a S.I. of 3 is referred to as the EC3 value.
In this study Stimulation Indices (S.I.) of 4.07, 14.07 and 22.84 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 5, 10, and 25% (w/w) in acetone:olive oil (4+1 v/v), respectively. A clear dose response was observed. Since the S.I. values of all treatment groups were above the threshold value of 3, the EC3 value could not be calculated.
The test item Isobornyl acrylate was found to be a skin sensitizer under the test conditions of this study.

Short description of key information:
Isobornyl acrylate is considered as skin sensitizer due to the results of a valid OECD 429 GLP study.In the study the test item Isobornyl acrylate was dissolved in acetone:olive oil (4+1 v/v) in concentrations of 5, 10, and 25% (w/w). The highest concentration tested was the highest concentration that could be achieved whilst avoiding systemic toxicity and excessive local skin irritation as confirmed by a pre-experiment. The animals did not show any signs of systemic toxicity or local skin irritation during the course of the study and no cases of mortality were observed.A test item is regarded as a sensitizer in the LLNA if exposure to one or more test item concentrations results in a 3-fold or greater
increase in incorporation of3HTdR compared with concurrent controls, as indicated by the Stimulation Index (S.I.). The estimated test item concentration required to produce a S.I. of 3 is referred to as the EC3 value.
In this study Stimulation Indices (S.I.) of 4.07, 14.07 and 22.84 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 5, 10, and 25% (w/w) in acetone:olive oil (4+1 v/v), respectively. A clear dose response was observed. Since the S.I. values of all treatment groups were above the threshold value of 3, the EC3 value could not be calculated.
The test item Isobornyl acrylate was found to be a skin sensitizer under the test conditions of this study.

Justification for classification or non-classification
Due to the results of a valid key study available, Isobornyl acrylate is classified as skin sensitiser category 1 according to Regulation 1272/2008/EC or UN-GHS. A potency could not be calculated based on available data.
