Strain:
Dunkin-Hartley
Sex:
female
Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
Weight range at arrival: 259 to 268 grams
Acclimatisation period: At least 5 days
Veterinary health check: During acclimatisation period
Animals per cage: Up to 5
Housing: Noryl cages measuring 74.354.325 cm
Cage control: Daily inspected and changed as necessary (at least 3 times/week)
Water: Drinking water supplied to each cage via a water bottle
Water supply: Ad libitum

Temperature range: 22 °C +/- 2 °C
Relative humidity range: 55% +/- 15%

Study design: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Induction
Route:
intradermal
Vehicle:
corn oil
Concentration / amount:
50, 20, 10, 5, 1 and 0.5%
Concentration of 50% w/v was found not administrable and concentrations of 20, 10 and 5% were administered with difficulty.
Challenge
Route:
intradermal
Vehicle:
corn oil
Concentration / amount:
50, 20, 10, 5, 1 and 0.5%
Concentration of 50% w/v was found not administrable and concentrations of 20, 10 and 5% were administered with difficulty.
No. of animals per dose:
10
Details on study design:
The study was divided into 2 distinct phases. The first of these was a dose-ranging screen which was used to determine suitable dose levels for use in the second phase. This second phase corresponded to the main study: determination of the sensitisation potential of the test item.
Challenge controls:
No response to the test item at a concentration of 50% in corn oil was observed in either test or control group animals, 24 and 48 hours following a 24 hour topical exposure period. No reaction to the vehicle alone was observed.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
No response to the test item at a concentration of 50% in corn oil was observed in either test or control group animals, 24 and 48 hours following a 24 hour topical exposure period. No reaction to the vehicle alone was observed.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Sensitisation reactions were observed in 100% of the animals in the reliability check. These results are considered to be acceptable for a weak sensitiser like alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde.

Body weight changes were not remarkable.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Conclusions:
These results indicate that the test item, Aluminium compound with nickel (RANEY® 2813), does not elicit a skin sensitisation response in the guinea pig, no reaction being observed at challenge.
