MAIN STUDY

ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA)
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: measuring the cell proliferation in the draining lymph nodes after topical application onto the ears.

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION: 25 μl of 0 (vehicle only), 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 %of Curry Red in either DMSO or a mixture of aqua/acetone (1:1) with olive oil (4:1) were applied on three consecutive days to the surface of the ear of 5 female CBA/J mice per group.
After application, the ears were dried for about 5 minutes by means of a hair dryer.
A positive control (p-phenylenediamine at 1 % in DMSO) was investigated in parallel under identical tests conditions.

Positive control substance(s):

other: p-phenylenediamine at 1 % in DMSO

Statistics:

The mean dpm per treated group and the stimulation index (test item compared to the concurrent vehicle control)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:

an increase in the stimulation index by a Factor of 7.8.

Conclusions:

Local lymph node assay (LLNA) of Disodium6-hydroxy-5-[(2-methoxy-4-sulphonato-m-tolyl)azo]naphthalene-2-sulphonate (25956-17-6)was performed on female miceCBA/J was considered to be not sensitizing.

Executive summary:

Local lymph node assay (LLNA) of Disodium6-hydroxy-5-[(2-methoxy-4-sulphonato-m-tolyl)azo]naphthalene-2-sulphonate (25956-17-6) was performed on female miceCBA/J by measuring the cell proliferation in the draining lymph nodes after topical application onto the ears.

In control group only 25µl of vehicle while in test group , 0.5, 1, 2, 4 % (w/v) test substance dissolved in DMSO and 0.5, 1, 2, 4 % in aqua/acetone (1:1) mixed with olive oil (4:1).Positive control p-phenylenediamine at 1 % in DMSO was applied on three consecutive days to the surface of the ear of 5 female CBA/J mice per group. After application, the ears were dried for about 5 minutes by means of a hair dryer.

 

All the animals were observed twice daily for any clinical signs and morbidity/mortality before and after given dose.Body weight was determined on day 1 and 5.On day 5 the mice received an intravenous injection of 250 μl phosphate buffered saline containing 20.8 μCi of [H³] methyl thymidine. After 5hr animals were died by giving CO2-inhalation and the draining auricular lymph node was removed and weighed. The cell suspension for each animal prepared. The cells were predicated by TCA. The liquid scintillation counting as disintegration per minute (dpm) was used to determined radioactivity due to incorporation of [H3] methyl thymidine in the pellets. The stimulation index was calculated by comparing test material with concurrent vehicle control.

 

Result was noted using mean stimulation index ,test substance in concentration 0.5, 1, 2, 4 % (w/v) in DMSO mean stimulation indices of 0.6, 0.7, 0.9 and 0.9 were obtained while test substance as 0.5, 1, 2, 4 % in aqua/acetone (1:1) mixed with olive oil (4:1).The mean stimulation indices of1.2, 1.0, 0.9 and 0.9 were obtained. The positive control (PPD, 1 % in DMSO) caused an increase in the stimulation index by a factor of 7.8.

 

As no relevant increase in the mean stimulation indices was observed (all figures were well below the trigger value of three), Hence it is considered thatDisodium6-hydroxy-5-[(2-methoxy-4-sulphonato-m-tolyl)azo]naphthalene-2-sulphonate (25956-17-6) was not skin sensitizer in mice by usingLocal lymph node assay (LLNA)
