MAIN STUDY : Groups of mice (n= 3) were initially injected intradermally with a total of 50 µl of test chemical-FCA emulsion into two sites of the abdominal skin at both sides of the ventral midline. Five days after injection, 25µl of test chemical in vehicle was applied to both sides of each ear for three consecutive days. Control mice were treated by intradermal injection of vehicle-FCA emulsion into the abdomen and then after 5 days they were exposed to vehicle alone on the ears for three consecutive days. The next day following the final topical application, auricular lymph nodes were excised and pooled for each experimental group. A single-cell suspension of LNC was prepared by mechanical disaggregation through a sterile 200-mesh gauge and washed once with Hank's balanced salt solution. The LNCs were resuspended in RPMI- 1640 culture medium supplemented with 25 mM N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'- 2-ethanesulphonic acid (HEPES), 100 U ml-I penicillin, 100 µg/ml streptomycin and 10% fetal calf serum, and the total LNC number was determined using an automated cell counter. The LNC suspensions (1 x 106 cells) were seeded into 96-well culture plates (five wells per group) and cultured with 0.5 µCi [3H]methyl thymidine ('HTdR) for 24 h at 37°C in a humidifed atmosphere of 5% CO, in air. Culture was terminated by a semiautomatic cell harvester, and the 3HTdR incorporation was determined by liquid scintillation counting. The increases in LNC number and 3HTdR incorporation relative to controls were derived for each experimental group and expressed as SIn and SIp, respectively
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method:
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: SItotal as obtained from SIn x SIp, which indicates the total lymph node activation induced by the test chemical. A chemical was regarded as positive (a sensitizer) if it showed an SItotal value of 3 or more.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not sensitising
- Conclusions:
- The test material was considered as not sensitizing to the skin of BALB/c strain mice in the sensitive mouse lymph node assay (SLNA)
- Executive summary:
A sensitive mouse lymph node assay (SLNA) was performed on Female BALB/c strain mice, 6-8 weeks old to assess the skin sensitization potential of the test chemical.A sensitive mouse lymph node assay (SLNA) developed for the identification of contact allergens and succeeded in enhancement of the sensitivity of the LLNA using Freud’s complete adjuvant (FCA) and two application phases: intradermal injection and repeated topical application. In this method, a group of 3 mice were intra dermally injected with 50 µl of test chemical –FCA emulsion into two sites of the abdominal skin at both sides of the ventral line. After 5 days 25 µl of test chemical in vehicle was applied to both sides of each ear for three consecutive days. Control mice were treated by intradermal injection of vehicle-FCA emulsion into the abdomen and then after 5 days they were exposed to vehicle alone on the ears for three consecutive days. The next day following the final topical application, auricular lymph nodes were excised and a single-cell suspension of LNC was prepared by mechanical disaggregation through a sterile 200-mesh gauge and washed once with Hank's balanced salt solution. The LNCs were resuspended in RPMI- 1640 culture medium supplemented with different supplements and the total LNC number was determined using an automated cell counter.The LNC suspensions (1 x 106cells) were seeded into 96-well culture plates (five wells per group) and cultured with 0.5 µ Ci [3H] methyl thymidine (3HTdR) for 24 h at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2, in air. Culture was terminated by a semiautomatic cell harvester, and the 3HTdR incorporation was determined by liquid scintillation counting. The increases in LNC number and3HTdR incorporation relative to controls were derived for each experimental group and expressed as SInand SIP, respectively; SItotal as obtained from SInxSIP, which indicates the total lymph node activation induced by the test chemical.A chemical was regarded as positive if it showed anSItotal value of 3 or more. From the results obtainedSItotalvalue for the test chemical was calculated to be 1.55. Hence, it was concluded that the test chemical elicited negative responses under the conditions used and can be considered to be non-sensitizing to mice.
