Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
The selection of concentrations took into account available information on the chemical/physical properties, the composition and on acute toxicity and primary irritation/corrosion potential of the test substance. Additionally, the results of a pretest with a 50% test substance preparation were considered, which showed slightly increased ear weights and lymph node weights as indication of ear irritation. The 50% preparation was the maximum technically applicable concentration.


MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Murine Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA)
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: The increase SI of cell count by a factor of >1.5 and/or of 3H-thymidine incorporation by a factor of ≥ 3 as compared to the concurrent vehicle control group is generally considered as indicating a sensitizing potential of a test substance


TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
- Body weight determination: individual body weights on day 0 prior to the first application and on day 5 prior to the sacrifice of the animals.
- Signs and symptoms: no detailed clinical examination of the individual animals was performed but any obvious signs of systemic toxicity and/or local inflammation at the application sites were noted in the raw data.
- Form of application: epicutaneous application is simulating dermal contact with the compound which is possible to occur under practical use conditions.
- Application volume: 25 μL per ear
- Site of application: dorsal part of both ears
- Frequency of application: 3 consecutive applications (day 0 – day 2) to the same application site
- Observations: twice each workday (beginning and end) and once on Saturdays, Sundays and on public holidays.
- ³H-thymidine injection: on study day five (about 66 to 72 hours after the last application of test substance to the ears) the mice were injected intravenously with 20 μCi of 3H-thymidine in 250 μl of sterile saline into a tail vein
- Terminal procedures: the animals were sacrificed on study day 5 about 5 hours after 3H-thymidine injection by cervical dislocation.
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
