Remarks on result:
no indication of skin sensitisation
Remarks:
Methyl 2-hydroxyisobutyrate is predicted 'negative'

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Methyl 2-hydroxyisobutyrate is not sensitising.
Executive summary:

Skin sensitisation potential of methyl 2-hydroxyisobutyrate was predicted using the OECD QSAR Toolbox v4.1. The analogues were selected prior to the analysis and loaded into the data matrix via the "query tool". The read-across analysis was performed with five analogue substances. The logKow is used as 'active descriptor'. The prediction is negative. It lies within the applicability domain of this model.
