Induction

Induction 1

Route:

intradermal

Vehicle:

corn oil

Induction 2

Concentration / amount:

PRELIMINARY TEST
25% , 10% and 5% (w/w) TDCP in corn oli was administered for the intradermal injection, topical application is neat at 100%.

MAIN TEST
- On day 1, six injections were made deep into the dermis of a 4 x 2 cm clipped interscapular area, using a meedle mounted on a 1 ml plastic syringe. In the anterior section FCA at 50% (v/v) in 0.9% NaCl, in the middle section the test substance at 25% (w/w) in corn oil and in the posterior section test substance at 25% (w/w) in the mixture FCA/0.9% NaCl (50/50). The same injections, without the test substance were made in control animals.
- The animals were treated on day 7 with 0.5ml of sodium lauryl sulphate at a concentration of 10% (w/w) in vaseline, in order to induce local irritation.
- On day 8, a pad of filter paper was fully loaded with the undiluted test substance and was then applied to the interscapular region of the animals in the treated group. The animals of the control group received an applictaion of the vehicle alone under the same experimental conditions. The pad was held in place for 48 hours by means of an adhesive hypoallergenic dressing and an adhesive anallergenic waterproof plaster.
- On day 22, the animals of treated and control groups received an application of the test substance and vehicle. The filter paper of a chamber (Finn chamber) was fully loaded with the undiluted test substance and was then applied to a clipped area of the skin of the posterior right flank of all animals. The vehicle was applied under the same experimental conditions to the skin of the posterior left flank. The chambers were held in place for 24 hours by means of an adhesive anallergenic waterproof plaster.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

Evidence from a study in guinea pigs indicates that TDCP does not possess significant skin sensitisation potential. No information is available on the respiratory sensitisation potential of TDCP.
Under the experimental conditions and according to the maximization method of Magnusson and Kligman, the test substance TDCP does not inudce delayed contact hypersensitivity in guinea pigs.
