MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal and epicutaneous, respectively)
- Exposure period: single injection (intradermal) and 48 h (epicutaneous)
- Test groups:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections):
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/physiological saline 0.9% NaCl
Injection 2: a 2.5% concentration of the test item in physiological saline 0.9% NaCl
Injection 3: a 2.5% concentration of the test item formulated in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/physiological saline 0.9% NaCl
Epicutaneous: 1.5% in vaseline
- Negative control group:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections):
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/physiological saline 0.9% NaCl
Injection 2: 100% physiological saline 0.9% NaCl
Injection 3: a 50% (v/v) formulation of physiological saline 0.9% NaCl in a 1:1 (v/v) mixture FCA/physiological saline 0.9% NaCl
Epicutaneous: pure vaseline
- Positive control group:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections):
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/physiological saline 0.9% NaCl
Injection 2: 2% mercaptobenzothiazole in cottonseed oil
Injection 3: a 50% (v/v) formulation of 2% mercaptobenzothiazole in a 1:1 (v/v) mixture FCA/physiological saline 0.9% NaCl
Epicutaneous: 25% mercaptobenzothiazole
- Site: shoulder (intradermal + epicutaneous)
- Frequency of applications: Intradermal Day 0, epicutaneous Day 7

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
