Details on study design:

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Lymph node proliferation response: One mouse was treated by daily application of 25 ?L of the undiluted test item to the dorsal surface of each ear
for three consecutive days (Days 1, 2, 3). The mouse was observed twice daily on Days 1, 2 and 3 and once daily on Days 4, 5 and 6.
A mean ear thickness increase of equal to or greater than 25% was considered to indicate excessive irritation and limited biological relevance to the endpoint of
sensitisation.

MAIN STUDY:
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT: Groups of four mice were treated with the undiluted test item or the test item at concentrations of 50% or 25% v/v in acetone/olive oil 4: 1. The preliminary screening test suggested that the test item would not produce systemic toxicity or excessive local skin irritation at the highest suitable concentration. The mice were treated by daily application of 25 ?L of the appropriate concentration of the test item to the dorsal surface of each ear for three consecutive days (Days 1, 2, 3).
- Name of test method: Local Lymph Node Assay.
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: The test item will be regarded as a sensitizer if at least one concentration of the test item results
in a threefold or greater increase in 3HTdR incorporation compared to control values.

Positive control substance(s):

hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:

The Stimulation Index expressed as the mean radioactive incorporation for the treatment group divided by the mean radioactive incorporation of the vehicle control group is as follows:
Concentration (% v/v) in acetone/olive oil (4:1): 25
Stimulation Index: 7.33
Result: Positive
