Skin sensitisation
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- skin sensitisation: in vivo (LLNA)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- Nov 2018 - Mar 2019
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Justification for type of information:
- The initial in vitro testing showed that due to limited solubility, in vitro assessment is technically impossible. Therefore, the in vivo test according to OECD 429 was performed to support a conclusion for skin sensitisation.

MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: OECD 429
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: The proliferative response of lymph node cells was expressed as the number of radioactive disintegrations per minute per lymph node (DPM/NODE) and as the ratio of 3H-methyl thymidine - incorporation into lymph node cells of test group animals relative to that recorded for control group animals (STIMULATION INDEX). Before DPM/NODE values were determined, background values were subtracted.
EC3 values, calculated concentrations which induce stimulation indices of three, are determined by linear interpolation {EC3=c+[(3-d)/(b-d)]x(a c)}, between two points of the stimulation indices axis, one above (a,b) and one below (c,d) the stimulation index of three. If all measured points are above or below the stimulation index of three, no EC3 value can be stated.
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Topical Application
Immediately before the first application the thickness of both ears of all animals was measured. Each mouse was treated by topical application of 25 µL of the selected solution to the entire dorsal surface of each ear. A second measurement of the ear thickness of all animals was carried out approximately 48 hours after the first application.
Topical applications were performed once daily over three consecutive days. The first treatment day is defined as study day 1.
Administration of 3H-Methyl Thymidine
Five days after the first topical application all mice were dosed with 20 µCi 3H-methyl thymidine by intravenous injection (tail vein) of 250µL of 3H-methyl thymidine, diluted with PBS to a working concentration of 80µCi/mL.
Preparation of Cell Suspension
Approximately 5 hours after the injection of 3H-methyl thymidine all mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Shortly before sacrificing the thickness of the ears of all animals was measured for a third time. The draining auricular lymph nodes were excised, individually pooled for each animal (2 lymph nodes per animal) and collected in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). A single cell suspension of pooled lymph node cells was prepared by gentle mechanical disaggregation through polyamide gauze (200 mesh size). After washing the gauze with PBS the cell suspension was pelleted in a centrifuge. The supernatant was discarded and the pellets were resuspended with PBS. This washing procedure was repeated.
After the final wash each pellet was resuspended in approx. 1 mL 5% TCA at approx. 4 °C for approximately 18 hours for precipitation of macromolecules. Each precipitate was once washed again, resuspended in 1 mL 5% TCA and 7 mL scintillation fluid was added. Then this solution was transferred into scintillation vials and stored at room temperature overnight.
Determination of Incorporated 3H-Methyl Thymidine
The 3H-methyl thymidine – incorporation was measured in a ß-counter and expressed as the number of disintegrations per minute (DPM). Similarly, background 3H-methyl thymidine levels were also measured (5% TCA). Determination of radioactivity was performed individually for each animal. - Positive control substance(s):
