Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Administration volume: Filter paper strips of 2 x 2 cm edge length were allowed to take effect in the region of the flank under occlusive conditions
- Exposure time: The test substance was administered for 2 x 24 hours within a period of 96 hours in order to detect unspecific phenomena which are not based on a sensitization reaction but which might displace the irritation threshold
- Site of administration: Region of the flank, in each case in the same place
- Number of animals: 4 for each test concentration
- Readings: Approximately 24 and 48 hours after the start of administration

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE: INTRADERMAL INDUCTION
- No. of exposures: 6 intradermal injections, two at a time, for each animal
- Exposure period: single application
- Two control groups: the animals received the same injections, but without the test substance and only with the agent which was used for preparing the suspension.
- Site: Shoulder region
- Concentrations: 5%

B. INDUCTION EXPOSURE: EPICUTANEOUS INDUCTION
- one week after intradermal induction
- Exposure: liquid immersed filter paper strips of 2x4 cm edge length under occlusive conditions
- No. of exposures: 1
- Exposure period: 48 h
- Site: shoulder region, in the same area as previously with the intradermal application
- Concentrations: 50%


C. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Day(s) of challenge: the first dose approximately 14 days after the epicutaneous induction, the second dose one week later
- 1st challenge: test group and control group 1 (control group 2 untreated); 2nd challenge: test group and both control groups
- Exposure: liquid immersed filter paper strips of 2x2 cm length under occlusive conditions
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Site: intact clipped region of the flank
- Concentrations: 20%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): approximately 24, 48, 72 hours after the start of administration
