Materials and methods

Test guideline

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)

GLP compliance:

yes

Type of study:

guinea pig maximisation test

Justification for non-LLNA method:

Currently no LLNA study is available for assessment. The Guinea Pig Maximization Test (GPMT) has been carried out as an animal test to predict human sensitization for over a decade and is recommended by international test guidelines such as OECD.

Details on study design:

RANGE FINDING TESTS: (dermal occlusive on the flank skin): 100%, 10% and 1% in salineThe animal's fur was clipped and 0.5 mL of the test substance was applied on a patch that was fixed on the skin under occlusive condition for 24 hours. After 24 hours the patch was removed and the skin was assessed another 24 hours later for erythema and oedema reactions.To study the intradermal tolerance of the test substance, the substance was injected in concentrations of 0.2 %, 1 % and 5 % intradermally in the skin of the back, each concentration at two seperate areas.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal) and 1 epicutaneous- Exposure period: 48 hours (epicutaneous)
- Test groups: 2x 0.1 mL at a concentration of 2 % in 50% Freunds adjuvans; 2x 0.1 mL at a concentration of 2 % in NaCl 0.9 %; 2x 0.1 mL of 50% Freunds adjuvans (intradermal) 0.5 mL of the test substance or vehicle was applied on a 2 x 4 cm patch which was applied for 48 hours to the animal's skin under occlusive conditions
- Control group: 2x 0.1 mL of 50% Freunds adjuvans; 2x 0.1 mL NaCl 0.9 %; 2x 0.1 mL of 50% Freunds adjuvans (intradermal- Site: skin of the back
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1- Test groups: 0.5 mL of the 10 % test substance or vehicle was applied on a 2 x 2 cm patch which was applied for 24 hours to the animal's skin under occlusive conditions
- Control group: 0.5 mL of the 10 % test substance in saline
- Site: flank skin- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 48 hours, 72 hours
