Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: David Percival Ltd., Moston Sandbach, Cheshire, UK
- Age at study initiation: 12-16 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 2.71-2.85 kg
- Housing: individual in suspended metal cages.
- Diet: STANRAB SQC Rabbit Diet (Special Diets Services Ltd., Witham, Essex, UK), ad libitum
- Water: tap water, ad libitum

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 17-20
- Humidity (%): 51-60
- Air changes (per hr): approximately 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated sites of the same animal served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied: 0.5 mL
- Concentration: 100%
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
14 days
Reading time points: 1, 24, 48 and 72 h and 7 days
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: dorsal flank
- Type of wrap if used: the test material was introduced under a 6.25 cm² cotton gauze patch and held in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape (BLENDERM: approximately size 2.5 cm x 4.0 cm). To prevent the animals interfering with the patches, the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset (TUBIGRIP).

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: residual test material was removed by gentl swabbing with cotton wool soaked in 74% Industrial Methylated Spirits.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Erythema: 2/3 animals showed slight erythema from 24 h up to 72 h being fully reversible within 7 days. In the remaining animal slight erythema was observed at the 24 and 48 h reading time point only.
Edema: No edema formation was apparent during the study period in any animal.
Other effects:
No other local or systemic effects were reported.
