Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
For the initial induction, guinea pigs were administered hydroxylammonium sulphate (5%, in water) via intradermal injection. At day 7, animals were administered a topical induction of 25% of the test substance in water followed by a challenge treatment of 10% of the test substance in water at dat 21. At day 55, rechallenge was conducted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
Bis(hydroxylammonium)sulphate was shown to cause sensitisation reactions in guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

In Magnusson Kligman Test, similar to OECD Guideline 406, bis(hydroxylammonium)sulphate was administered to guinea pigs via intradermal injection on day 1 and topical application on day 7 as part of the induction period. Animals were challenged with the chemical on days 21 and 55 which caused sensitisation in 96% of the animals. Dermal reactions were classified into grade 2/3 (moderate to intense redness and swelling). By this study design in guinea pigs bis(hyroxylammonium)sulphate is considered to be a sensitising agent. This study is considered to be reliable with restrictions as the study was conducted prior to the establishment of standardised guidelines.
