Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Three male and 3 female New Zealand White rabbits (obtained from H.A.R.E. Rabbits for Research, Hewitt, New Jersey) were used for this study. The rabbits weighed from 2300 to 2813 grams at the beginning of the study. The rabbits were individually housed in hanging wire-mesh cages in temperature and humidity controlled quarters. They were maintained in accordance with the recommendations contained in H.E.W. Publication No. 74-23 (N.I.H.) entitled "Guide for the Care and "Ose of Laboratory Animals". The animals were conditioned for a period of 20 days prior to study initiation. Water and Purina Rabbit Chow were available ad libitum.

Test system

Vehicle:
not specified
Controls:
other: left eye untreated
Amount / concentration applied:
The rabbits received 100 milligrams of the test material
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Not specified
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 males
3 females
Details on study design:
Prior to test material administration, the eyes of each rabbit were examined with ultraviolet light following instillation of one drop of a 2.0 percent sodium fluorescein solution. Rabbits exhibiting corneal lesions were discarded.
The rabbits received 100 milligrams of the test material. The test material was placed into the cupped conjunctival sac of the right eye of each rabbit following which the eyelids were gently held together for one second. The left eye served as the untreated control for each rabbit. None of the rabbits received a washout.
