Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitizing
Conclusions:
The values for Stimulation Indices at various test concentrations were 1.2, 1.4 and 2.1 which are below 3, hence EC3 value couldnot be calculated. Therefore, the given test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to skin of mice.
Executive summary:

The dermal sensitization potential of the given test chemical was evaluated in a mouse local lymphnode assay (LLNA). Groups mice were exposed topically on the dorsum of both ears to 5%, 10% and 25% of the test material or to an equal volume of relevant vehicle only. Treatment was performed daily for 3 consecutive days. Five days after the initiation of exposure, all mice were injected intravenously with [H3] thymidine and activity measured as a function of isotope incorporation in draining auricular lymph nodes. The approach to estimation of the relative skin sensitization potential was based on the mathematical estimation of the concentration of chemical necessary to obtain a threshold positive response (SI = 3); this is termed as the EC3 value. A substance was classified as a skin sensitizer if it induced a threefold or greater increase in local lymph node proliferative activity at one or more test concentrations when compared with concurrent vehicle-treated controls (SI≥3). The values for Stimulation Indices at various test concentrations were 1.2, 1.4 and 2.1 which are below 3, hence EC3 value couldnot be calculated. Therefore, the given test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing to skin of mice.
