and severe edema;  24 hours after patch removal eschar in 14/20 animals, severe edema and  crusts on heavy erythema with 

deep wounds in 6/20 animals.
  2nd induction, FCA + vehicle application sites: 1 hour after patch  removal eschar in 14/20 animals, severe erythema and edema with deep  wounds in 6/20 animals. 24 hours after patch removal eschar formation at  injection sites of 9/20 animals, 

severe edema and incrustation on severe  erythema / deep wounds in other 11 animals.
  1st challenge, test group: 24 hours after patch removal very slight to  distinct erythema and edema in all animals; 24 hours later 

the edema had  disappeared in 3/20 animals.
  1st challenge, control group 1: 24 hours after patch removal very  slight to distinct erythema and (in 8/10 animals) edema; 24 hours 

later  the edema were absent in 3/10 animals.
  2nd challenge: no signs of irritation in test group and control group 2.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No skin sensitization was induced by the test material. In this study, cyclooctene is not a dermal sensitizer.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study with cyclooctene in corn oil, was tested in a group of young Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs using the method of Magnusson and Kligman. 1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene served as positive control material. No signs of systemic toxicity were noted.

No skin sensitization was induced by the test material. In this study, cyclooctene is not a dermal sensitizer.
