RESULTS OF PILOT STUDY: no irritation at concentrations of 100% test substance

RESULTS OF TEST

- Sensitization reaction: 0/20

- Clinical signs: Local reactions after intradermal application (test and control animals after 1 and 24 hours): All FCA treated injections sites showed severe erythema, edema and necrosis. The animals treated with 10% test substance in maize germ oil showed well defined erythema and edema.

Local reactions after patch test (48 hours): 1 hour after patch removal, test and control animals: whole application area showed erythema and edema, as well as inflamed or bloody lesions, restlessness of the animals and scratching in the application area.

24 hours after patch removal: Some animals showed erythema and eschar formation in the whole application area.
