Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Healthy New Zealand White rabbits (Porton strain) aged 12-16 weeks with average body weights of 2.70 kgs. (males ) and 2.58 kgs (females) bred on the premises and maintained under a semi-barrier system. Six rabbits (3 males and 3 females) were acclimatised in the test area for one week prior to the start of the trial.
The rabbits were caged singly in an experimental room maintained at a temperature of 20°C. (_+1°) and a relative humidity
of 50-70%. Animals ware exposed to artificial light for 10 hours daily from 08.00 - 18.00 hours. A commercial irradiated diet
(Styles-Oxoid) was fed ad lib. Sterile filtered water was available at all times.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: the right eye served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
100 mg of the test compound were instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye. The eyelids were then held closed for 1 second. The right eye served as a control. After 30 seconds the compound was, as far as possible, flushed out of the eyes of three of the rabbits with approximately
200 ml. of warm water.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
30 seconds
Observation period (in vivo):
up to 16 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6 (3 males and 3 females)
