Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
16 Dec 1981 - 27 Jan 1982
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Guideline study. Restriction due to missing details in study report. Missing details did not affect ability to evaluate effect of test substance on skin sensitisation.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
During preparation of the original submission, reporting of an existing Buehler-type skin sensitisation test was considered more appropriate than sacrifice of further vertebrate animals in the newly adopted Local Lymph Node Assay.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test material does not appear to be a sensitizer in the albino guinea pig.
Executive summary:
In a Modified Buehler Method test, 10 albino Guinea Pigs were treated with 5% w/v test substance, scores of zero in all test animals were obtained in the challenge phase at all time points examined. The test material does not appear to be a sensitizer in the albino guinea pig.
