Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: not specified
Conclusions:
In the present study, the intraperitoneal injection of the test substance did not cause an allergic reaction after 21 days induction period of daily subcutaneous injections.
Executive summary:

In the present study, a group of 12 guinea pigs received daily subcutaneous injections of 5 µg of the test substance for 21 days as Induction phase. After an internval of 37 days, the challenge phase was carried out through an intraperitoneal injection of 15 µg the test item.

None of the animals suffered any allergic reactions and therefore the test item can be considered as not sensitizer.
