Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Under the experimental conditions adopted, the test item LAB 3822 (batch FAL 07/25) did not induce delayed contact hypersensitivity in the murine Local Lymph Node Assay using CBA/J female mice after three consecutive days of treatment.

Executive summary:

Possible skin sensitising potential of LAB3822 (batch FAL 07/25) was evaluated in the female mouse CBA/J using an in-vivo non-radioactive Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) test method in accordance with the General Requirements of OECD Guideline No. 429 (April 22, 2002) and subsequent amendments and the NIH Publication No.99-4494 dated February 1999, The Murine Local Lymph Node Assay: A test method for assessing the allergic contact dermatitis potential of chemical compounds and the European Chemicals Bureau, Method B42.

Methods

A preliminary study was performed in order to defined the maximum concentration causing slight to moderate irritation by cutaneous application of the test item LAB 3822.

In the main study, 16 females CBA/J mice were allocated to the following six groups:

• one vehicle group of four animals receiving the vehicle (acetone / olive oil),

• one treated group of four animals receiving the test item LAB 3822 at the concentration of 100%,

• one vehicle positive group of four animals receiving the vehicle of the positive control substance (acetone),

• one positive control group of four animals receiving 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) at the concentration of 0.5% (w/v) in acetone.

Each mouse received a cutaneous application over the dorsal surface of both ears (25μL) every 24 hours for 3 consecutive days (days 1, 2 and 3). Ear thickness measurements and recording of local reactions were measured before each application and just before euthanasia, in order to assess any possible irritant effect of the test item LAB 3822. Lymphoproliferative response was measured by LAB 3822 incorporation of 5-bromo-20-deoxyuridine on day 6. The results were elucidated using an Elisa System on day 8.

Results

Under the experimental conditions adopted, results obtained were as follows:

Preliminary study

The concentrations selected for the preliminary study were 25% (v/v), 50% (v/v), 75% (v/v) and 100% (undiluted).

The test item LAB 3822 was non irritant in the preliminary study. Accordingly the concentration selected for the main study was 100%.

Main study

Mortality and systemic clinical signs :

No mortality and no clinical signs were observed during the main study.

Local irritation :

At D3, a discrete erythema was noted on both ears of one animal (200705602) and on the left ear of one animal (200705599) treated with the test item LAB 3822 100%.

Lymphoproliferative effect :

The test item LAB 3822, whatever the dose tested, did not produce a stimulation index equal to or greater than 3. Consequently, the EC3 value for the test item LAB 3822 can not be calculated. Summary results are presented in the following Table 1.

Table 1 Study results - LAB 3822

Groups	Treatment and concentrations	Viability(%)	Amount of cells	Cellularity index	Stimulation index	EC3 value	Increase inear thickness
1	Vehicle	61	2.20	1.00	1.0	NA	+3%
2	LAB3822 100%	70	3.20	2.14	1.4	NA	+4%
3	DNCB 0.5 %	69	23.20	22.70	4.2	NA	14%
4	Acetone	54	1.00	1.00	1.0	NA	-3%

NA = not applicable

Viability = (amount of viable cells / amount of total cells) x 100

Amount of cells (106 cells per node)

Increased in ear thickness (% between day 1 and day 6)

cellularity index = (amount of cells x 106 in the treated group) / (amount of cells x 106 in the vehicle group)

Stimulation index = (mean optical density in the treated group) / ( mean optical density in the vehicle group)

EC3 value = theoretical concentration resulting in a SI value of 3

Conclusion

Under the experimental conditions adopted, the test item LAB 3822 (batch FAL 07/25) did not induce delayed contact hypersensitivity in the murine Local Lymph Node Assay using CBA/J female mice after three consecutive days of treatment.
