Details on study design:
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal and epicutaneous, respectively)
- Exposure period: single injection (intradermal) and 48 h (epicutaneous)
- Test groups:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections):
Injection 1: 0.1 mL 1:1 mixture FCA/water
Injection 2: 0.1 mL test substance in water (1:1)
Injection 3: 0.1 mL test substance in a 1:1 mixture FCA/water
Epicutaneous (one occlusive patch): 0.5 mL undiluted test substance

- Control group:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections):
Injection 1: 0.1 mL 1:1 mixture FCA/water
Injection 2: 0.1 mL water
Injection 3: 0.1 mL water and FCA in a 1:1 ratio
Epicutaneous (one occlusive patch): 0.5 mL water

- Site: injections were made in the subscapular region, on each side of the midline; patch was placed caudally to the area of injection.
- Frequency of applications: twice (intradermal injection on Day 0, epicutanous application on Day 7)
- Duration: Day 0-7
- Concentrations: intradermal 50%, epicutaneous: undiluted

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: Day 21
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: test substance and water
- Control group: test substance and water
- Site: test material was applied to the right flank, water was applied to the left flank
- Concentrations: undiluted
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24, 48 and 72 h after patch removal

OTHER: a 50 cm² skin site was shaved 24 h prior to the first induction treatment. It is unclear if the animals has slight erythema during the whole study period, and therefore unclear if SDS should have been used prior to the second induction treatment to cause skin irritation.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
mercaptobenzothiazole

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
A reliability check is performed at regular intervals to check the sensitivity of the test system and the reliability of the experimental techniques of the contract laboratory. In an independent study performed in November 1993, mercaptobenzothiazole induced sensitisation in 4/10 (40%) of the positive control animals. 0/5 negative control animals showed skin sensitisation. All the guinea pigs were treated with sodium lauryl sulfate prior to the topical induction.

Any other information on results incl. tables

20/20 animals in the treatment group and 10/10 animals in the control group had scattered mild redness (skin irritation score 1 of 3) at the 24 -, 48- and 72 hour reading time points after the challenge treatment (see Table 2 and 3).

This erythema is considered an irritant effect, and not a sensitising effect.
