Results and discussion
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
F344 rats received 10 consecutive daily oral doses of Methoxyacetic acid ranging from 25 to 400 mg/kg bw in several experiments with somewhat diverging dosing regimens. At 100 and 200 mg/kg bw, thymic involution was observed in the absence of body weight reduction; there was also a reduction of lympho-proliferative responses to mitogens (Con A, PHA and PWM). At 200 mg/kg bw, the in vitro generated cytotoxic T-lymphocyte response was reduced, whereas mixed lymphocyte reaction and NKA were unaffected. The PFC response to TNP-LPS was suppressed throughout all dose levels, while increased to SRBC at 50 mg/kgbw. TNP-LPS- and SRBC-immunised rats dosed with Methoxyacetic acid showed suppression of PFC responses at 100 or 200 mg/kg bw and 200 or 400 mg/kg bw, respectively. Phenotypic analysis of splenocytes revealed a small (3%) reduction in the percentage of W3/25-positive cells (i.e. CD4, helper/inducer cells). Spleen cellularity appeared to be unaffected. Interleukin-2 production was decreased in the 150mg/kg bw group (Smialowicz et al, 1991a/b).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
