Executive summary:

Introduction

The ability of a chemical compound to induce an allergic contact dermatitis in the skin is determined by  using guinea-pigs as animal models. Assays in which guinea pigs are exposed to potential allergenic chemicals include the Magnusson-Kligman Maximization Assay, and the Buehler Assay which is used it because it more closely mimics human exposure.

Induction phase

The assays are run by applying a minimally irritating dose of the test compound (5% propylene glycol and freund's adjuvant) the to the shaved flanks of Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs for approximately 3 weeks.

Challenge phase

About 1x week after the last application, the undiluted chemical or 50% in petrolatum is re-applied to the animals.

Scoring of erythema and edema (24 and 48 hours) is accomplished by adding up all the animals that responded in a group of ten and expressing it as a percentage (incidence) and determined the intensity of teach response on a scale of 0-4. 

Result

Scores of zero in all test animals were obtained at all time points examined. The test material does not appear to be a sensitizer in the guinea pig.
