Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Irritation was evaluated before a delayed hypersensitivity study in guinea pigs. A 0.3 ml aliquot of tetrahydro-4-methyl-2-(2-methylpropen-1-yl)pyran at concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 25% and 50% in diethyl phthalate and undiluted substance were applied to the clipped back for 6 hours under occlusion using 25 mm Hill Top Chambers®. Reactions were scored 24 and 48h after application. 4 animals per sex were tested.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Site: shoulder
- Frequency of applications: once a week
- Duration: 3 weeks
- Concentrations: 50%
- Control group: not treated

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: approx. 2 weeks after last induction
- Site: untreated shoulder
- Concentrations: 0.5%, 1.5% and 5%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): approx. 24 hours and 48 hours
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Historical positive control data generated February 20 and 21 1992 using 1-Chloro-2,4-Dinitrobenzene (DNCB)
