Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: Range finding skin irritation tests were conducted on 16 naive guinea pigs to determine the slightly irritating concentration (SIC) to be used for induction and the highest non-irritating concentration (HNIC) to be used for challenge. Eight concentrations: 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.0%, 3.0%, 1.0%, 0.5% and 0.25% w/v test material in absolute ethanol and the same concentrations in acetone were applied to the skin sites. The application sites were changed among the guinea pigs for each of the above concentrations to minimize any site-to-site variation in irritation response.

The range-finding primary skin irritation tests results on 32 naïve guinea pigs were 3% in absolute ethanol for induction and 1% in acetone for challenge.

Note: the value in parenthesis represents the mean dermal score (i.e., the intensity of the irritation response) - Clinical signs: At a challenge concentration of 1% test material in acetone, 15 of the 19 guinea pigs induced with test material responded with erythema of grade 1 or greater while none of the non-induced guinea pigs responsed with erythema of grade 1 or greater.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 10
- Exposure period: three 6 hr periods per week for 3.5 consecutive weeks
- Test groups: 19 guinea pigs
- Control group: yes; receiving SHAM treatment during induction
- Site: back of the guinea pigs
- Frequency of applications: 10 applications over a 3.5 week period
- Duration: 6-hr
- Concentrations: 3.0%


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE- after a two-week rest period
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 48 hours
- Exposure period: approximately 24 hours after the challenge application, the backs of the guinea pigs were depliated with NEET(R) lotion hair remover. The depilatory was liberally applied to the clipped application sites and allowed to remain on the animlas for approximately 20 minutes. The animals were then rinsed with lukewarm running tap water, blotted dry, and then returned to their cages.
- Test groups: 19 treated guinea pigs from the induction group and a group of 10 naive guinea pigs
- Control group: yes, from induction group
- Site: back of the guinea pigs
- Concentrations: 1.0% w/v test material

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Conclusions:
Under these test conditions, the test material produced DCH in guinea pigs induced with the test material.
Executive summary:

The delayed contact hypersensitivity *DCH potential of the test material was tested in young adult outbred Hartley guinea pigs (GP). Ten induction doses (0.4 ml) of 3.0% (W/V) test material in absolute ethanol were applied to the backs of an induction group of 9 male and 10 female GP for three 6 -hr periods per week for 3.5 consecutive weeks. Two weeks after the last induction treatment, the 19 GP in the induction group and a group of 10 naive control GP were each "challenged" with 0.4 ml of a 1.0% (W/V) solution of test material in acetone. Erythema reactions were scored at 24 and 48 hours after the challenge exposure. At a challenge concentration of 1.0% (W/V) test material in acetone, 15 of 19 test material induced GP responded with an erythema reaction of grade 1 or greater while no grade 1 or greater reactions were observed in the 10 non-induced controls. Under these test conditions, the test material produced DCH in guinea pigs induced with the test material.
