Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

A preliminary screen was carried out using groups of 2 male and 2 female guinea pigs to determine the concentrations of test material to be used for intradermal induction, topical induction and topical challenge.

Induction was accomplished in 2 stages, intradermal injection and a topical application. Two rows of 3 injections were made: 2 of 0.1 ml Freund’s complete adjuvant (FCA), 2 of 0.1 ml test material in solvent (solvent), and 2 of 0.1 ml test material in 50:50 FCA/solvent. The injection sites were just within the boundary of a 4x4 cm shaved area.

One week after the intradermal injections the same area was clipped. A 4x4 cm patch of Whatman No. 3 filter paper was soaked in a solution of the test material, placed over the injection sites of the experimental animals and covered by overlapping plastic adhesive tape (Blendaderm). This was secured with elastic adhesive bandage (Poroplast). The dressing was left in place for 48 hours.

The challenge procedure was carried out 2 weeks after topical induction. Challenge was accomplished by topical application of the challenge solution of the test material to the flank of both test and control groups of animals. 3x3 cm area on the flank was clipped and shaved. A 2.5x2.5 cm patch of Whatman No. 3 filter paper was soaked in a solution of the test material, placed over the injection sites of the experimental animals and covered by overlapping plastic adhesive tape (Blendaderm). This was secured with elastic adhesive bandage (Poroplast). The dressing was left in place for 24 hours. Examination of the challenge site was immediately, 24 and 48

hours after removal of the dressing.
