- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
A range finder study was performed to determine the maximum non-irritant concentration of the test substance in a separate group of 4 animals. The animals were pretreated with Complete Freund's Adjuvant and received test substance concentrations of 100%, 50%, 25% and 12.5% applied to patches of 2x2 cm of filter paper on a clipped area of 8x5 cm on both flanks, two patches per flank. The patches were occlusively covered and secured by an overlapping impermeable plastic 5 cm Blenderm adhesive tape. This was secured by elastic bandage (5 cm Elastoplast) wound around the torso of the animal and left in position for 48 hours. The results indicated that a 25 % concentration could be used for challenge without causing irritation. For safety reasons the challenge was also carried out with 12.5% of the test substance to ensure the use of a non-irritant concentration.
MAIN STUDY
Three pairs of injections were made on either side of the midline in a clipped 4x6 cm area over the shoulder of the animals for intradermal induction, followed by an epicutaneous application of neat test substance on a 4x2 cm patch of filter paper on the same area seven days later. Occlusive dressing was applied as described for the range-finder test and left in place for 48 hours. Control animals were treated with sterile distilled water instead of the test substance but otherwise received an identical induction treatment with Complete Freund's Adjuvant. Challenge was performed 2 weeks after topical induction application. The test substance was applied to the clipped flank on a 2x2 cm patch of filter paper and secured as for induction application. The patch was left in place for 24 hours. A second patch with a lower concentration was applied to the other flank of the animal.
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal and epicutaneous)
- Exposure period: 48 hours (epicutaneous)
- Test groups: FCA; TS, TS + FCA (1:1)
- Control group: FCA, water, water + FCA (1:1)
- Site: on either side of the midline in an area of 4x6 cm over the shoulder
- Frequency of applications: 7 days
- Duration: 9 days
- Concentrations: test group: 100% neat test substance and 50% test substance in FCA; control group: water and water in FCA
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 21
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups: TS
- Control group: TS
- Site: flank
- Concentrations: 25 and 12.5%, respectively
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 - Challenge controls:
- In principle, the challenge exposure of the control group to test substance on their flanks has the function of a challenge control. The preceding treatment of the control group during the induction phase should not have any influence on the challenge reaction in this group.
- Positive control substance(s):
- no
