Qualifier:

according to

Guideline:

other: Modified Buehler

GLP compliance:

no

Type of study:

Buehler test

Justification for non-LLNA method:

an in vitro or in chemico skin sensitisation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo skin sensitisation study are available

Details on study design:

RANGE FINDING TESTS: The highest non-irritating concentration was determined. The entire back and both sides of 4 animals were clipped one day prior to application. The following day the animals were exposed for one 6 hour period to various concentrations of the test substance. The sample was applied in four different concentrations: 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% in Aqua dest. The responses were graded at 24 and 48 hours.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: 6 hour/exposure
- Test groups: 1; 20 animals
- Control group:1; 10 animals
- Site: left flank
- Frequency of applications: once/week
- Concentrations: 0.5 mL

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: 6 hour/exposure
- Test groups: 1; 20 animals
- Control group: 1; 10 animals
- Site: right flank
- Concentrations: 0.5 mL
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours

OTHER: body weights were taken at Day 0 and at the end of the entire testing period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

There was no signs of erythema or edema observed during the testing period. According to the method, the test substance is considered to cause no delayed contact hypersensitivity.

Executive summary:

The determination of the delayed contact hypersensitivity was performed in two groups of male guinea pigs; the test group and a control group following a modified Buehler method. All animals gained weight satisfactorily during the observation period. No animals showed signs of erythema or edema. The test substance is considered to cause no delayed contact hypersensitivity.
