MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: LLNA
- Criteria used to consider a positive response:
A test item is regarded as a sensitizer in the LLNA if exposure to at least one concentration of the test item results in an incorporation of 3H thymidine at least 3-fold or greater than that recorded in control mice, as indicated by the stimulation index (SI ≥ 3.0). However, the biological relevance of the obtained stimulation indices is considered in conjunction with the other assessed end points (i.e. cell counts, lymph node weights, ear weights). Hereby, the thresholds used for assessment of cell counts and ear weights are represented by stimulation indices (SI) of 1.5 and 1.25, respectively.
If applicable, the EC (estimated concentration) leading to the respective SI values were calculated by linear or semi-logarithmical regression between the data points directly below and above the SI if possible or using the two nearest points below or above the SI.
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
After stirring with a magnetic stirrer the test substance was soluble in the vehicle and applied as a solution. 25 µL per ear was applied on the dorsal part of the ear on 3 consecutive applications (day 0 – day 2) to the same application site. - Positive control substance(s):
- other: Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, techn. 85%
- Statistics:
- Mean values and standard deviations of the measured parameters were calculated for the test
and control groups from the individual values. The stimulation indices of 3H-thymidine
incorporation, cell count, lymph node weight and ear weight measurements were calculated as the ratio of the test group mean values for these parameters divided by those of the vehicle control group.
Statistical analysis of 3H-thymidine incorporation, cell count, lymph node weight and ear weight was performed using the WILCOXON - Test. - Positive control results:
- The 15 % HCA preparation in MEK induced a biologically relevant and statistically significant response in 3H-thymidine incorporation (SI = 7.99) and lymph node cell counts (SI = 2.24) as well as statistically significant increased lymph node weights (SI = 2.05).

No signs of systemic toxicity were noticed in all animals during general observation.
Very slight erythema was noted on the ear skin of all animals at 25% on study days 1 and 2 and at 10 % on study day 2. Slight swelling and residues of test substance were observed in all animals at all concentrations during the observation period. The animals treated with the 25 % concentration showed pull out of hair at the head on study days 2 and/or 5.
Very slight erythema and slight swelling were observed on the ear skin of the animals treated with a 15 % HCA preparation on study days 1 and 2.
BODY WEIGHTS
The expected body weight gain was generally observed in the course of the study. - Interpretation of results:
- Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The test item exhibits a skin sensitizing potential in the Murine Local Lymph Node Assay under the test conditions chosen.
- Executive summary:
The skin sensitizing potential of the test article was assessed using the radioactive Murine Local Lymph Node Assay. Groups of 5 female CBA/CaOlaHsd mice each were treated with 25 µl of 2.5%, 10% and 25% w/w preparations of the test substance in methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or with the vehicle alone. The high concentration was selected based on the presence of ear skin irritation in a pretest using a 50% preparation. A concurrent positive control group with 5 female mice was treated with 25µl of 15% Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde in MEK. Three days after the last application the mice were injected into the tail vein with 20 μCi of 3H-thymidine in 250 μL of sterile saline. About 5 hours after the 3H-thymidine injection, the mice were sacrificed and the auricular lymph nodes were removed. Lymph node response was evaluated by measuring 3H-thymidine incorporation. Cell counts and weights of each animal’s pooled lymph nodes were also determined. In addition, the ear weights were determined in order to obtain an indication of possible skin irritation. No signs of systemic toxicity were noticed in all animals during general observation. When applied as 25% preparation in MEK, the test substance induced a statistically significant increase of 3H-thymidine incorporation into the cells from the auricular lymph nodes, which was above the cut off value for biological relevance (increase above the cut off stimulation index (SI) of 3). The increase of the 10% test-substance preparation was statistically significant, but failed to reach the cut off. Concomitantly, the increases in the auricular lymph node cell counts at 25% and 10% were statistically significant and biologically relevant (above the cut-off value (increase to 1.5 fold or above of control value = stimulation index (SI) ≥ 1.5). In addition, statistically significant increases in lymph node weights at 25% and 10% were noted. No relevant increase in either of above endpoints were observed at 2.5% preparation. The ear weight stimulation indices did not indicate relevant increases in ear weights (SI ≥ 1.25), demonstrating the absence of excessive ear skin irritation. However, there was a statistically significant increase in ear weights at 25%. In addition, very slight erythema was noted on the ear skin of all animals at 25% on study days 1 and 2 and at 10% on study day 2. Slight swelling and residues of the test substance were observed in all animals at all test-substance concentrations during the observation period. The animals treated with the 25% concentration showed pull out of hair at the head on study days 2 and/or 5. The 15% HCA preparation in MEK induced a biologically relevant and statistically significant response in 3H-thymidine incorporation and lymph node cell counts as well as statistically significant increased lymph node and ear weights. In addition, very slight erythema and slight swelling were observed on the ear skin on study day 1 and 2. Thus, it is concluded that the test article exhibits a skin sensitizing potential in the Murine Local Lymph Node Assay under the test conditions chosen. The threshold concentration for sensitization induction was >10% <25%. The EC 3 (estimated concentration that leads to the SI of 3.0) for 3H-thymidine incorporation was calculated by linear regression from the results of these concentrations to be 14.7%.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (sensitising)
- Additional information:
The skin sensitizing potential of the test item was assessed using the radioactive Murine Local Lymph Node Assay. The assay simulates the induction phase for skin sensitization in mice. It determines the response of cells in the auricular lymph nodes to repeated application of the test substance to the dorsal skin of the ears. Groups of 5 female CBA/CaOlaHsd mice each were treated with 2.5 %, 10 % and 25 % w/w preparations of the test substance in methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or with the vehicle alone. The high concentration was selected based on the presence of ear skin irritation in a pretest using a 50 % preparation. A concurrent positive control group with 5 female CBA/CaOlaHsd mice was treated with 15 % Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, techn. 85 % (HCA) in MEK. The study used 3 test groups, 1 control group and 1 positive control group. Each test animal was treated with 25 μL per ear of the appropriate test-substance preparation, applied to the dorsal surfaces of both ears for three consecutive days. The control group was treated with 25 μL per ear of the vehicle alone. The animals of the positive control group were treated with 25 μL of a 15 % preparation of Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde in MEK. Three days after the last application the mice were injected into the tail vein with 20 μCi of 3H-thymidine in 250 μL of sterile saline. About 5 hours after the 3H-thymidine injection, the mice were sacrificed and the auricular lymph nodes were removed. Lymph node response was evaluated by measuring 3H-thymidine incorporation (indicator of cell proliferation). Cell counts and weights of each animal’s pooled lymph nodes were also determined. In addition, a 0.8 cm diameter sample was punched out of the apical part of each ear and for each animal the weight of the pooled punches was determined in order to obtain an indication of possible skin irritation. No signs of systemic toxicity were noticed in all animals during general observation.
When applied as 25 % preparation in MEK, the test substance induced a statistically significant increase of 3H-thymidine incorporation into the cells from the auricular lymph nodes, which was above the cut off value for biological relevance (increase above the cut off stimulation index (SI) of 3). The increase of the 10 % test-substance preparation was statistically significant, but failed to reach the cut off. Concomitantly, the increases in the auricular lymph node cell counts at 25 % and 10 % were statistically significant and biologically relevant (above the cut-off value (increase to 1.5 fold or above of control value = stimulation index (SI) ≥ 1.5). In addition, statistically significant increases in lymph node weights at 25 % and 10 % were noted. No relevant increase in either of above endpoints were observed at 2.5 % preparation. The ear weight stimulation indices did not indicate relevant increases in ear weights (SI ≥ 1.25), demonstrating the absence of excessive ear skin irritation. However, there was a statistically significant increase in ear weights at 25 %. In addition, very slight erythema was noted on the ear skin of all animals at 25 % on study days 1 and 2 and at 10% on study day 2. Slight swelling and residues of the test substance were observed in all animals at all test-substance concentrations during the observation period. The animals treated with the 25 % concentration showed pull out of hair at the head on study days 2 and/or 5. The 15 % HCA preparation in MEK induced a biologically relevant and statistically significant response in 3H-thymidine incorporation and lymph node cell counts as well as statistically significant increased lymph node and ear weights. In addition, very slight erythema and slight swelling were observed on the ear skin on study day 1 and 2. Thus, it is concluded that the test substance exhibits a skin sensitizing potential in the Murine Local Lymph Node Assay under the test conditions chosen. The threshold concentration for sensitization induction was >10 % and <25 %. The EC 3 (estimated concentration that leads to the SI of 3.0) for 3H-thymidine incorporation was calculated by linear regression from the results of these concentrations to be 14.7 %.
