In vitro test system

Test system:
human skin model
Remarks:
The EPISKIN-model is a 3-dimensional human epidermis model obtained after a 13-days culture period of adult human-derived epidermal keratinocytes seeded on a dermal substitute consisting of a collagen type I matrix coated with type IV collagen.
Source species:
human
Cell type:
non-transformed keratinocytes
Cell source:
other: reconstructed human epidermis units are contained in the EpiSkin(TM)SM kits, supplier: SKINETHIC Laboratories; 4, rue Alexander Fleming, 69366 – LYON Cedex 07, France
Justification for test system used:
The EPISKIN model has been validated for corrosivity testing in an international trial; it is considered to be suitable for this study (STATEMENT ON THE SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE EPISKINTM TEST (AN IN VITRO TEST FOR SKIN CORROSIVITY); ECVAM JRC Environment Institute, European Commission; Ispra; 03 April 1998).
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on test system:
RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: EPISKIN model
- Tissue batch number: 18-EKIN-038

TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: room temperature

REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
The skin units were rinsed thoroughly with approximately 25 mL PBS 1 x solution to remove all of the test material from the epidermal surface. The rest of the PBS was removed from the epidermal surface with a suitable pipette tip linked to a vacuum source (care was taken to avoid damaging the epidermis).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: non-corrosive, further information necessary to decide on irritation potential and final classification
Conclusions:
The results obtained from this in vitro skin corrosion test, using the EPISKIN model, indicated that the test item reveals no skin corrosion potential under the utilised testing conditions.
Executive summary:

The study was conducted to determine the skin corrosion potential of the test item. Disks of EPISKIN (two units) were treated with the test item and incubated for 4 hours (±10 min) at room temperature. Exposure of the test material was terminated by rinsing with PBS 1x solution. The viability of each disk was assessed by incubating the tissues for 3 hours (±15 min) with 5±1 % CO2 in a ≥ 95% humidified atmosphere and protected from light. The formazan precipitated was then extracted using acidified isopropanol and quantified spectrophotometrically. NaCl (9 g/L saline) and glacial acetic acid treated epidermis were used as negative and positive controls, respectively. The test item did not show significantly reduced cell viability in comparison to the negative control after four hours of exposure. Both individual tissue viabilities were above 35 % of the mean negative control value. The average test item treated tissue viability was 103 %. Positive and negative controls showed the expected cell viability values within acceptable limits. The experiment was considered to be valid. The results obtained from this in vitro skin corrosion test, using the EPISKIN model, indicated that the test item reveals no skin corrosion potential. This result can be used together with further information on the irritative nature of the substance to decide on its final classification.
