Details on study design:

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Animals were anesthetized by inhalation of isoflurane. The test material was applied to the back of the ears at a volume of 25µL per ear of the respective preparation. Administration was perform once a day for three consecutive days. The control animals were treated accordingly using the vehicle only.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The test item showed no indication of a skinn sensitizing potential in the local lymph node assay in mice.

Executive summary:

After treatment of four groups of female CBA/J mice with the test item in acetone/olive oil (4/1) topically on the back of the ears on three consecutive days no proliferation of the draining lymph nodes was recorded as shown by a lack of increased incorporation of 3H-Thymidine in lymph node cells. The volume applied was 25 µL and the concentrations were 10 , 25, and 50 %. The stimulation index varied between 0,72 and 0,49.
