Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
difference in exposure details
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
Maurer optimisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Currently no LLNA study is available for assessment. The Maurer optimisation test has been carried out as an animal test to predict human sensitization. This test is similar to the OECD recommended Guinea Pig Maximization Test (GPMT).

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- Exposure period: three weeks
- Test groups: During the induction period the animals received one injection every second day (except weekends) to a total of 10 intracutaneous injections of a freshly prepared 0.1% solution of the test article (containing 2% of the active ingredient) in physiological saline. During the second and third week of the induction period the test material was incorporated in a mixture of the normal vehicle with complete Bacto Adjuvant (vehicle : adjuvant = 1 : 1).
- Control group: One control group was treated with the vehicle alone.
- Site: On the first day, injections of 0.1 mL were administered into the shaved skin of the right flank and the back, while on the following days a single intracutaneous injection was given into the back.
- Concentrations: 0.1% of a 2% solution, i.e. 0.002%

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: two (injection and epicutaneous application)
Fourteen days after the last sensitizing injection, a challenge injection of 0.1 mL of a freshly prepared 0.1% solution of the test article (containing 2% of the active ingredient) in physiological saline was administered into the skin of the left flank. 24 hours after the challenge injection the reactions were recorded. Ten days after the intracutaneous challenge injection a subirritant dose of the test compound (30% test material, containing 2% active ingredient, in vaseline) was applied epicutaneously under occlusive dressings which were left in place for 24 hours. The reactions were evaluated 24 hours after removing of the bandages according the Draize scoring scale.
