PREDICTION MODEL
For CD86/CD54 expression measurement, each test item is tested in at least two independent runs to derive a single prediction (POSITIVE or NEGATIVE).

− The RFI of CD86 is ≥ 150% at any tested concentration (with cell viability ≥ 50%);
− The RFI of CD54 is ≥ 200% at any tested concentration (with cell viability ≥ 50%).
Otherwise, the h-CLAT prediction is considered NEGATIVE
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- The RFI values of the positive controls (DNCB) for CD54 and CD86 exceeded the positive criteria (CD54 ≥ 200% and CD86 ≥ 150%) and the cell viability was >50%.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The test item X300 activated THP-1 cells under the test conditions of this study. Therefore the test item is considered positive for the third key event of the skin sensitisation Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP).
- Executive summary:
The test item X300 was tested for its potential to induce skin sensitization in a strategy of assay. It was tested according to OECD guideline 442E, In Vitro Skin Sensitisation assays addressing the Key Event on activation of dendritic cells on the Adverse Outcome Pathway for Skin Sensitisation, with the human cell Line Activation Test or h-CLAT method.
The test item X300 was dissolved in saline and further diluted in culture medium when administered to THP-1 cells for 24 ± 0.5 hours. The highest test item concentration for the main experiment (h-CLAT) of X300 was previously determined by two XTT tests (deviation from the guideline but XTT tests are recognized as tests to assess the cytotoxicity).
Cytotoxic effects were observed following incubation with the test item starting with the concentration of 2500 μg/mL up to the highest tested concentration (5000 μg/mL) in the first XTT test and with the highest tested concentration (5000 μg/mL) in the second XTT test (threshold of cytotoxicity: < 75%). The mean CV75 value of both XTT tests was calculated as 2533.35 μg/mL.
The changes of surface markers expression (CD54, CD86) are measured by flow cytometry following cell staining with fluorochrome-tagged antibodies. The relative fluorescence or luminescence intensity of the treated cells compared to solvent/vehicle control are calculated and used in the prediction model, to support the discrimination between sensitisers and non-sensitisers.
The following concentrations of the test item (dissolved in saline) were tested in the main experiment (h-CLAT):
848, 1018, 1222, 1466, 1759, 2111, 2533 and 3040 µg/ml.
The test item X300 was tested in 2 independent runs. The highest tested test item concentration (3040 μg/mL) of both h-CLAT runs was excluded from the evaluation, since the cell viability was below 50%. The RFI of CD86 was greater than 150% in all concentrations of both runs. The RFI of CD54 was greater than 200% in all concentrations of the first run and in the most concentrations of the second run. Therefore, the h-CLAT prediction is considered positive for the tested test item in this h-CLAT. A median EC150 and EC200 value could not be calculated.
In the DMSO control, RFI values compared to the medium control of both CD54 and CD86 did not exceed the positive criteria (CD54 ≥ 200% and CD86 ≥ 150%). The RFI values of the positive controls (DNCB) for CD54 and CD86 exceeded the positive criteria (CD54 ≥ 200% and CD86 ≥ 150%) and the cell viability was >50%.
In conclusion, the test item X300 activated THP-1 cells under the test conditions of this study. Therefore the test item is considered positive for the third key event of the skin sensitisation Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP).
