Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
non-standard grading of skin effects, non-GLP
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The skin sensitisation potential of 3,5,5-trimethyl hexyl acetate was tested in guinea pigs in a modified Draize sensitisation test.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
Draize test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Study was performed before LLNA guideline implementation took place.

In vivo test system

Test animals

Species:
guinea pig
Strain:
Hartley
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
Sensitization tests were carried out on inbred Hartley strain albino guinea pigs bred in our own colony. During testing they were housed in wire mesh
cages in pairs of the same sex and were fed pelleted guinea pig diet, cabbage, hay and water ad libitum. Ten animals weighing about 350 g at the start of testing were used in each test which comprised either 4 males and 6 females or visa versa. For demonstration of sensitivity by challenge with the test substance the hair was shaved from both flanks with Oster animal clippers, size 40 blades, and the test substance injected intradermally into one flank and applied topically without occlusion to the other flank.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: one intradermal injection at 4 sites
- Exposure period: 14 days
- Test groups: single test group of 10 animals
- Control group: none
- Site: 4 sites overlying the 2 auxillary and 2 inguinal lymph nodes
- Frequency of applications: one
- Duration: 14 days
- Concentrations: 0.5% in 0.1 mL aliquots

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Day(s) of challenge: 14 days after induction
- Exposure period: One challenge as intradermal injection; for topical application not known, but test substance was probably not removed

- Control group: second challenge included control group
- Site: intradermal challenge in one flank and topical challenge in the other
- Concentrations: 0.2% in 0.1 mL aliquots intradermally; 20% in 0.1 mL aliquots topically
- Evaluation: first evaluation 24 hours after challenge; 7 days later second challenge with controls
Positive control substance(s):
not required
