In vitro test system

Test system:
human skin model
Source species:
human
Cell type:
non-transformed keratinocytes
Details on animal used as source of test system:
Source: SkinEthic Laboratories, Lyon, France
EPISKIN-SMTM, 0.38 cm2, Batch no.: 18 EKIN 033
Justification for test system used:
In the interest of sound science and animal welfare, a sequential testing strategy is recommended to minimize the need of in vivo testing. One of the validated in vitro skin irritation tests is the EPISKIN test, which is recommended in international guidelines (e.g. OECD and EC).
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on test system:
SKIN TEST SYSTEM PREPARATION
- Procedure used: The liquid test item was applied undiluted (25 µL) was added into 12-well plates directly on top of the tissue

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: 37.0 ± 1.0°C (actual range 36.7 - 37.4°C)
- Temperature of post-treatment incubation: 37.0 ± 1.0°C

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
- Number of washing steps: The tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline to remove residual test item. After rinsing, the cell culture inserts were each dried carefully and moved to a new well on 2 mL pre-warmed maintenance medium until all tissues were dosed and rinsed. Subsequently the skin tissues were incubated for 42 hours at 37°C.

DYE BINDING METHOD
- Dye used in the dye-binding assay: MTT
- Wavelength: 570 nm

NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT TESTING RUNS / EXPERIMENTS TO DERIVE FINAL PREDICTION: 1 (The test was performed on a total of 3 tissues per test item together with negative and positive controls).

PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA (choose relevant statement)
- A test item is considered irritant in the skin irritation test if: The relative mean tissue viability of three individual tissues after 15 minutes of exposure to the test item and 42 hours of post incubation is ≤ 50% of the mean viability of the negative controls.
- A test item is considered non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test if: The relative mean tissue viability of three individual tissues after 15 minutes of exposure to the test item and 42 hours of post incubation is > 50% of the mean viability of the negative controls.
Control samples:
yes, concurrent negative control
yes, concurrent positive control

Duration of treatment / exposure:
Exposure period of 15 ± 0.5 minutes at room temperature
Duration of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):
42 hours at 37°C
Number of replicates:
3
