Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The Buehler type of sensitization test was selected since the test substance is a functional silane and the Local Lymph Node Assay as the preferred alternative has shown to provide false positive results for silicone substances.

RANGE FINDING TESTS
- For the dermal inductions the initially test item concentrations were 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100%. The undiluted test item was selected for main study.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: 6 h
- Test groups: test substance in corn oil
- Control group: water
- Site: left scapular region
- Frequency of applications: every 7 days
- Duration: days 0-21
- Concentrations: 100%

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 28
- Exposure period: 6 h
- Test groups: test substance in corn oil
- Control group: water
- Site: right flank
- Concentrations: 100%
- Evaluation: 24 and 48 h after patch removal
Challenge controls:
The control group is actually a challenge control
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
a-hexylcinnamicaldehyde

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The six-month reliability check with a-hexylcinnamicaldehyde indicates that the Buehler Test is an appropriate model for testing for contact hypersensitivity. The skin reactions observed in four experimental animals in response to the 50% test substance concentration in the challenge phase were considered indicative of sensitization, based on the absence of any response in the control animals. These results lead to a sensitization rate of 40 percent.
