Details on study design:

PRETEST
To determine the highest test-substance concentration that does not induce local signs of skin irritation and/or systemic toxicity, a pretest (experimental conduct in accordance with GLP but without a GLP status) was performed.

CONDUCT OF THE STUDY
The study comprised three treatment groups and a vehicle control group. Each group consisted of 5 mice.
- Randomization: Prior to first application, the animals were distributed to the individual groups, received their animal numbers and were allocated to the respective cages according to the randomization instructions of „Nijenhuis, A. and Wilf, H.S.:Combinatorial Algorithms, Academic Press, New York,San Francisco, London, 1978, pp. 62 – 64“.
- Body weight determination: Individual body weights on day 0 prior to the first application and on day 5 prior to the sacrifice of the animals.
- Signs and symptoms: Obvious signs of systemic toxicity and/or local inflammation at the application sites were noted for each animal in the raw data.
- Mortality: A check for moribund and dead animals was made twice each workday (beginning and end) and once on Saturdays, Sundays and on public holidays.
- Form of application: Epicutaneous application is simulating dermal contact with the compound which is possible to occur under practical use conditions.
- Application volume: 25 µL per ear
- Site of application: Dorsal part of both ears
- Frequency of application: 3 consecutive applications (day 0 – day 2) to the same application site
- ³H-thymidine injection: On study day five (about 66 to 72 hours after the last application of test substance to the ears) the mice were injected into a tail vein with 20 μCi of 3H-thymidine1 in 250 μL of sterile saline.
- ³H-thymidine incorporation into cells suspensions: After the terminal procedure the pooled lymph nodes of each animal were stored in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) in an ice-water bath until further preparation. A single cell suspension was prepared as soon as possible after dissection by carefully passing the lymph nodes through an iron mesh (mesh size 200 μm) into 6 mL of phosphate-buffered physiological saline. For determination of cell counts, an aliquot of each suspension was further diluted with Casy®ton in a ratio 1:500. The cell count was determined using a Casy®-Counter. The remaining cell suspensions were washed twice with PBS and precipitated with 5% trichloro-acetic acid (TCA). Each precipitate was transferred to scintillation fluid and incorporation of 3H-thymidine into the cells was measured in a β-scintillation counter.

EVALUATION OF RESULTS
In order to reveal a possible induction of sensitization, the response in the draining lymph node after epicutaneous application of several concentrations of the test substance to the skin of the dorsal surface of both ears is determined by measuring 3H-thymidine incorporation into the lymph node cells. Additional parameters used to characterize the response are, lymph node cell count and, to a certain extent, lymph node weight. Because irritation by the test substance may also induce lymph node responses, the weights of ear punches taken from the area of test-substance application are determined as an indicator for inflammatory ear swelling due to any irritant action of the test substance.
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.

Positive control substance(s):

other: Alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde

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.

Further statistical analysis:
Statistical test: WILCOXON - Test
Parameter: 3H-thymidine incorporation, cell count, lymph node weight and ear weight

Cellular proliferation data / Observations:

Results from main test:
- There was no increase in lymph node weights at all concentrations.
- All test-substance preparations did not cause any excessive increase in ear weights (> 25%), demonstrating the absence of ear skin irritation.
- The expected body weight gain was generally observed in the course of the study.
- Local findings: Black discolored feces was observed at the 10% concentration on study day 5 and at 25% and 50% on study days 2 and 5. Slight black discolored ear skin was noted in all animals treated with the 50% concentration.
- No signs of systemic toxicity were noticed in all animals during general observation
