Description of key information
OECD 429 Local Lymph Node Assay in the Mouse
The test item was considered to be a sensitiser under the conditions of the test. Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, tech., 85% gave a Stimulation Index of greater than 3 when tested at a concentration of 25% v/v in acetone/olive oil, 4:1 thus demonstrating the sensitivity and reliability of the test system.

- Details on test animals and environmental conditions:

Acclimatization period of at least five days.
Animals were in the weight range of 15 to 23 g, and were eight to twelve weeks old.
Free access to mains tap water and food.
The temperature and relative humidity were set to achieve limits of 19 to 25 °C and 30 to 70%, respectively.
The rate of air exchange was approximately fifteen changes per hour.
The lighting was controlled by a time switch to give twelve hours continuous light (06.00 to 18.00) and twelve hours darkness. - Vehicle:
- acetone/olive oil (4:1 v/v)
- Concentration:
- 100, 10 and 1% v/v
- No. of animals per dose:
- 5
- Details on study design:
- Groups of five mice were treated with the test item at concentrations of 10 % or 1 % v/v in acetone/olive oil 4:1. The preliminary screening test suggested that the test item would not produce systemic toxicity or excessive local irritation at the highest suitable concentration. The mice were treated by daily application of 25 µL of the appropriate concentration of the test item to the dorsal surface of each ear for three consecutive days (Days 1, 2, 3).
The test item formulation was administered using an automatic micropipette and spread over the dorsal surface of the ear using the tip of the pipette.
A further group of five mice received the vehicle alone in the same manner.
Five days following the first topical application of the test item vehicle control or positive control item (Day 6) all mice were injected via the tail vein with 250 pL of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 3H-methyl thymidine (3HTdR: 80 µCi/rnL, specific activity 20 Ci/mmoL) giving a total of 20µCi to each mouse.
The positive control animals were similarly treated to the test animals except that 25 µL of the positive control item, alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, tech., 85%, at a concentration of 25% v/v in acetone/olive oil 4:1 was applied to the dorsal surface of each ear.
Five hours following the administration of 3HTdR all mice were killed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation followed by cervical separation.
Preparation of Single Cell Suspension: A single cell suspension of the lymph node cells for each individual animal was prepared by gentle mechanical disaggregation. The lymph node cells were rinsed through the gauze with 4 mL of PBS into a petri dish labeled with the study number and dose concentration. The lymph node cells suspension was transferred to a centrifuge tube. The petri dish was washed with an additional 5 mL of PBS to remove all remaining lymph node cells and these were added to the centrifiige tube. The lymph node cells were pelleted at 1400 rpm (approximately 190 g) for ten minutes. The pellet was re-suspended in 10 mL of PBS and re-pelleted. To precipitate out the radioactive material, the pellet was re-suspended in 3 mL of 5% Trichloroacetic acid (TCA). 3HTdR incorporation was measured by B-scintillation counting. The number of radioactive disintegrations per minute was then measured. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- Data was processed to give group mean values for disintegrations per minute and standard deviations where appropriate. Individual and group meandisintegrations per minute values were assessed for dose response relationships. Data was first assessed for suitability by analysis of normality and homogeneity of variance. If the assumptions that the data are both normally distributed and has homogeneity of ariances, then parametric one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Durmett’s multiple comparison procedure were used to determine statistical significance. If the assumptions were not met, non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis Rank Sum and Mann-Whitney U test procedures were used.

- Executive summary:
Introduction
A study was performed to assess the skin sensitization potential of the test item in the CBA/Ca strain mouse following topical application to the dorsal surface of the ear.
Methods
Following a preliminary screening test in which no clinical signs of toxicity were noted at a concentration of 100%, this concentration was selected as the highest dose investigated in the main test of the Local Lymph Node Assay. Three groups, each of five animals, were treated with 50 µL (25 µL per ear) of the test item as a solution in acetone/olive oil 4:1 at concentrations of 10% or 1% w/w in acetone/olive oil 4:1. A further group of five animals was treated with vehicle alone. A concurrent positive control test, using a group of five animals, was also performed with the known sensitizer, alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde tech., 85%, at a concentration of 25% v/v in acetone/olive oil, 4:1.
Results
The Stimulation Index expressed as the mean radioactive incorporation for each treatment group divided by the mean radioactive incorporation of the vehicle control group are as follows:
1% v/v of the test item in the vehicle gave negative results with a stimulation Index score of 2.14
10% v/v of the test item in the vehicle gave negative results with a stimulation Index score of 1.99
100% of the test item gave positive results with a stimulation Index score of 4.89 (excluding an outlier value) or 6.19 (including an outlier value).
25% v/v of the positive control in the vehicle gave positive results with a stimulation Index score of 10.19.
Conclusion
The test item was considered to be a sensitiser under the conditions of the test. Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, tech., 85% gave a Stimulation Index of greater than 3 when tested at a concentration of 25% v/v in acetone/olive oil, 4:1 thus demonstrating the sensitivity and reliability of the test system.
Referenceopen allclose all
There were no deaths. No signs of systemic toxicity were noted in the test or control animals during the test. No observations of erythema were noted on the ears of all animals treated with the test item or positive control item. Body weight change of the test animals between Day 1 and Day 6 was comparable to that observed in the corresponding control group animals over the same period.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (sensitising)
