ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: LLNA
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: Si >/= 3 and positie dose/response relation

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Each test group of mice was treated by topical (epidermal) application to the dorsal surface of each ear lobe (left and right) with different test item concentrations of 5, 10 and 25% (w/v) in acetone:olive oil, 4:1 (v/v) in the main experiment, and 25% (w/v) in propylene glycol in the repeat experiment. The application volume, 25 μl, was spread over the entire dorsal surface (∅ ∼ 8 mm) of each ear lobe once daily for three consecutive days. A further group of mice was treated with an equivalent volume of the relevant vehicle alone (control animals). A hair dryer was used to dry the ear's surface as quickly as possible to avoid loss of test item applied.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

As the stimulation index was above 3 in all tested concentrations the test material is regarded as a sensitiser under the conditions of the LLNA.

Executive summary:

In the study the test item dissolved in acetone:olive oil, 4:1 (v/v) in the main experiment and in propylene glycol in the repeat experiment was assessed for its possible contact allergenic potential. For this purpose a local lymph node assay was performed using test item concentrations of 5, 10 and 25% in the main experiment and 25% in the repeat experiment.

The animals did not show any clinical signs during the course of the study and no cases of mortality were observed.

In this study Stimulation Indices (S.I.) of 4.6, 4.4 and 3.7 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 5, 10 and 25% (w/v) in acetone:olive oil, 4:1 (v/v), respectively.

In the repeat experiment a Stimulation Index of 4.0 was determined with the test item at a concentration of 25% (w/v) in propylene glycol.

An EC3 value could not be calculated since the S.I. was above 3 even at the lowest tested concentration of 5 % (w/v).

The test item was found to be a skin sensitiser under the described conditions.
