MAIN STUDY

A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 - intadermal and topical
- Exposure period: 7 days for first induction and 7 days for second induction.


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day of challenge: Day 14
- Exposure period: 24hr occlusive bandage
- Test groups:
- Site:left flank - 25% test substance in petrolatum; right flank - 50% test substance in petrolatum
- Evaluation (hrs after challenge): 24 and 48 hr after treatment- local reaction (erythema, edema)

Body weights measured twice during the pretreatment period, on the day of the first and second inductions and challenge and on the final day of observations.
Challenge controls:
10 animals with water for 1st and 2nd induction. Challenge: a) 25% in corn oil and b) 100%
Positive control substance(s):
no
