Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Ocular Irritection® assay system
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The Ocular Irretection (OI) assay system is a quantitative in vitro test method that mimics acute ocular irritation test. This method is able to evaluate the potential of a test substance to cause eye irritation and corneal opacity by measuring the optical density produced by the interaction of the test substance with a mixture of proteins and glycoproteins. The basis is that the interaction of an irritating agent with cornea causes denaturation and/or disruption of local proteins. So, during the test, the induced alterations in the proteins structures are measured with the differences in turbidity of the reagents matrix at 405 nm using a spettrometer. The interpretation of results is performed by a software that compares the optical density produced by the test substance with a standard curve obtained by a set of calibration well known substances. This standard curve of calibration relates to the ocular potential in the in vivo Draize rabbits eye test. The irritancy potential of a test substance is expressed as an Irritatition Draize Equivalent (IDE) score (0-50), that is obtained by comparison of results of calibration standards with correspondent in vivo studies.
