Details on study design:
MAIN STUDY
A test for primary irritation was conducted prior to the test for sensitization potential by applying, and slightly rubbing in, one drop (~0.05 ml) of 100% test material as supplied and a 50% (v/v) of the test material in 13% guinea pig fat (in 50/50 acetone/dioxane) on the shaved, intact shoulder skin of 10 animals (all males). No irritation response was observed 24 or 48 hours after treatment.

A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 4
- Exposure period: 3-week
- Test groups: one group (receiving 0.1 ml intradermal injections)
- Control group: one group (no treatment)
- Site: sacral intradermal injections
- Frequency of applications: weekly (total of 4 injections)
- Concentrations: 1% in dimethyl phthalate

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: one
- Day(s) of challenge: following a 2-week rest period after the last induction injection
- Exposure period: once,
- Test groups: treated as indicated below
- Control group: treated as test group
- Site: on the shaved, intact shoulder skin
- Concentrations: by applying, and slightly rubbing in, one drop (~0.05 ml) of 100% test material as supplied and a 50% (v/v) of the test material in in 13% guinea pig fat [in 50/50 acetone/dioxane])
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48
Challenge controls:
the control group received no treatment at induction, but the same treatment as in the test group at challenge
Positive control substance(s):
no
