- Methods and Parameters
Preparation of Corneas
Eyes were examined after delivery to the laboratory for any damage (like opacity, scratches or neovascularization) on the day of slaughter (1 day before the experiment). Eyes without any visible defects were transferred into new containers with fresh HSS solution supplemented with 1 %penicillin I streptomycin solution and 1 % FBS and stored overnight at refrigerator temperature (2-8 °C). Eyes with defects were discarded.
On the next day (day of experiment) the containers with the eyes were transferred in an incubator at 32°C (± 1 °C) for about 2 hours.
For the preparation of the cornea the sclera of each eye was incised with a scalpel and cut by scissors. A 2-3 mm scleral edge was left around the cornea for further handling. The isolated corneas were placed with the epithelium side down into a prepared beaker filled with MEM medium supplemented with 1 %penicillin I streptomycin solution and 1 % FBS. Each cornea was placed into a cornea holder with the endothelial side facing the sealing ring of the posterior chamber. The anterior chamber was then fixed by screws on the other side. The chambers were filled with MEM medium, avoiding air bubbles. The holders so prepared were transferred for at least 1 hour in the incubator at 32°C (± 1 °C).
Selection of corneas for application
After approximately 1 hour, the MEM medium was aspirated and the chambers were filled with fresh MEM medium. For each cornea the reference opacity value was measured then. The mean and standard deviation of the measured values were calculated by using Microsoft Excel. The corneas with values within the range of mean ± 1 standard deviation were selected for the actual test and assigned to the test groups.
The numbers of the selected corneas selected were documented in an appropriate protocol. The holders were labeled with a new serial number for the further testing.
Positive control and Test item Formulation
The positive control imidazole was formulated (20 % imidazole in physiologic saline solution (wlv)) immediately before administration. The formulation was visually described as solution. The test item was suspended with a glass rod shortly prior to application in physiologic saline solution to achieve a concentration of 20 % (w/v). The formulation was visually described as suspension. Before each application the suspension was mixed thoroughly.
Application of the test material and incubation
Immediately before application, the medium was aspirated from the anterior chamber. 750 µL of the test material formulations were applied to the corneas, each through the holes of the anterior chamber. The holes of both chambers were sealed with adhesive tape and the holders were kept with the front side up, so that the formulations covered the cornea sufficiently. The holders were transferred into the incubator at 32°C (± 1 °C) for the exposure time of 4 hours.
After the exposure, the formulations were aspirated from the anterior chamber and the corneas were rinsed at least 3 times with phenol red containing MEM to show effectiveness of test substance removal. During the final rinse cycle the corneas were rinsed again with pure MEM medium in order to remove residues of the dye. The anterior chamber was then filled again with MEM medium to avoid drying out of the cornea. Before measuring opacity, fresh MEM medium was filled in the chambers.
Determination of Opacity
The opacity of a cornea was measured by the diminution of light passing through the cornea. The measurements of opacity were carried out using an opacitometer BASF OP3.0 (with integrated light meter testo 545 and Comfort V3.4 SP6 software from Testo AG, Lenzkirch). Before each measurement the opacitometer was adjusted to about 1000 LUX and a filter calibration measurement was carried out by using 3 different filters.
Determination of Permeability
The medium in anterior chamber of each holder was replaced by 1 mL of fluorescein sodium solution (concentration 5 mg/mL). Afterwards the holders were incubated at 32°C (± 1 °C) for about 90 minutes.
After the incubation period, the medium of the posterior chamber was aspirated by a syringe and filled into a 10 mL tube. Three wells of a 96 well plate were filled with 300 µL of each tube (triplicate determination). In addition, a standard series of 5 mg/mL sodium fluorescein solution was prepared and also filled into the 96-well plate, in triplicates.
The permeability was determined by measuring the amount of fluorescein sodium which diffused through all cell layers of the cornea. The measurement was carried out at a wavelength of 490 nm (OD490) by an ELISA- Reader.

- Executive summary:
This study was performed to assess the corneal damage potential of the solid test item Bayscript Yellow GGN with the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test (BCOP) using fresh bovine cornea. The study was conducted in accordance with international accepted Guidelines (e.g. OECD TG 437).
20% (w/v) concentration ofthe test item and the positive control imidazole in physiologic saline solution were tested on 3 bovine corneas each in comparison to the negative control (physiologic saline solution). For determination of corneal damage opacity as well as tissue permeability was measured after a 4 hour treatment time.
Test items were applied to the epithelial surface of the cornea in a special corneal holder. Corneal opacity was measured quantitatively as the amount of light transmission through the cornea before and after treatment with the test item. Permeability was measured quantitatively as the amount of sodium fluorescein dye that passes across the full thickness of the cornea after treatment. The In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS) value was calculated based on these data.
In accordance with OECD TG 437 and the study results Bayscript Yellow GGN was characterized by having no potential to seriously damage the eye.
