Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Challenge with a 46% (w/v) preparation of the test sample in deionised water elicited a strong sensitisation response in previously-induced guinea pigs. Challenge with a 26% (w/v) preparation of the test sample in deionised water elicited a moderate sensitisation response in previously-induced guinea pigs. No sensitisation response was elicited following challenge with a 1% (w/v) preparation of the test sample in deionised water.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The present study has shown that after the release treatment 50% of the animals has given positive response.
According to the evaluation criteria of Directive 83/467/EEC, Reactive Blue 198 in the maximization test is a moderate sensitizer.
Executive summary:

The net response was calculated to be 67% and, therefore, when previously induced guinea pigs were challenged with a 46% (w/v) preparation of Reactive Blue 198, a strong sensitisation response was elicited. Following challenge with a 26% (w/v) preparation of the test sample in deionised water, moderate diffuse redness was observed in three test animals and scattered mild redness in seven test animals. None of the control animals showed a response.

The net response was calculated to be 50% and, therefore, when previously induced guinea pigs were challenged with a 26% (w/v) preparation of Reactive Blue 198, a moderate sensitisation response was elicited.
