Test system:
human skin model
Remarks:
SkinEthicTM RHE model
Source species:
human
Cell type:
non-transformed keratinocytes
Cell source:
other: human derived non-transformed epidermal keratinocytes
Justification for test system used:
This study addresses the human health endpoint skin corrosion. It makes use of reconstructed human epidermis (RHE) (human derived non-transformed epidermal keratinocytes) which closely mimics the histological, morphological, biochemical and physiological properties of the upper parts of the human skin. The use of reconstructed human epidermis (RHE) is also recommended by the OECD and other regulatory authorities. The SkinEthicTM RHE model has been validated and is part of the OECD validated reference methods (VRMs), it is a recommended model for conducting in vitro skin corrosion studies. The results of the study are believed to be of value in predicting the potential of inducing skin corrosivity by the test item in humans.

The bottom of tissue inserts were dried on a sterile absorbent paper (Kim wipes) for 1-2 seconds. The surface of the stratum corneum was gently swept with both ends of a cotton tip (5-6 turns per end). After washing, inserts were transferred to a holding plate containing 300 µL maintenance medium.
