Any other information on results incl. tables

Induction:

After the intradermal induction well-defined erythema and slight edema were observed at the injection sites of all control group animals and all test group animals at which only Freund's adjuvant/0 .9% aqueous NaCl-solution (1 : 1) was applied . Injections of 5% test substance preparations in Tylose CB 30 .000, 1% in aqua bidest . or in Freund's adjuvant/0 .9% aqueous NaCl-solution (1 : 1) caused well-defined erythema and slight edema in all test group animals . The injection sites of all control group animals at which Tylose CB 30 .000, 1% in aqua bidest . was applied, did not show any skin reactions .

After the percutaneous induction with a 25% test substance preparation incrustation, partially open (caused by the intradermal induction), could be observed in addition to well-defined erythema and slight edema in all test group animals . The animals of control groups 1 and 2, which were applied with Tylose CB 30 .000, 1% in aqua bidest ., exhibited the same skin reactions as the animals of the test group .

1st Challenge:

After the lst challenge 1 out of 10 test group animals showed very slight erythema 24 hours after removal of the patches . 2 test group animals exhibited well-defined erythema . 1 out of these animals additionally showed scaling and very slight edema . Very slight erythema were observed in 3 out of 10 test group animals 48 hours after removal of the patches . 2 out of these animals additionally showed scaling .

The animals of control group 1 did not show any skin reactions . Tylose CB 30 .000, 1% in aqua bidest ., which was applied as a vehicle control to all animals, did not cause any skin reactions .

2nd Challenge:

After the 2nd challenge with a 10% test substance preparation no skin reactions were observed in all animals of the test group and control groups 1 and 2 24 and 48 hours after removal of the patches .

Tylose CB 30 .000, 1% in aqua bidest, which was applied as a vehicle control to all animals, did not cause any skin reactions .

Body weights:

The expected body weight gain was generally observed in the course of the study .

Mortality:

1 animal of control group 1 and 1 animal of control group 2 died 10 days after the beginning of the study . Macroscopic examination revealed that the animals suffered from pneumonia . The cause of death was not related to the test substance treatment .
