Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
pre-GLP study according to original description of the GPMT; no positive control used, however, several simultaneously tested compounds were positive thus providing the sensitivityof the test system.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Magnusson & Kligman: The identification of contact allergens by animal assay. The guinea pig maximization test. J Invest Dermatol 52: 268, 1969.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Study was conducted well before LLNA guideline was available.

Details on study design:
Induction:
The test animals were given subcutaneous and topical applications of the test substance in acetone and/or Freund's Complete Adjuvant at a final concentration of 0.5%. Control animals received the corresponding vehicle.

Challenge:
At two weeks after the last induction, animals of both the test and control group received a topical application of the test substance in acetone at a final concentration of 2% (24-hour occluded patch). The skin was scored at 24 hours after removal of the test patch.

Criteria for selection of induction concentration was systemic toxicity reported in the literature. Criteria for selection during induction is not given. No criteria for selection of challenge concentration was given. Number of animals reacting during induction is not given.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
