Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Principle of test: study conducted according to Magnusson, B. and Kligman A.M.: The Identification of Contact Allergens by Animal Assay. The Guinea Pig Maximization Test. J. Invest. iDermatol. 52, 268 - 276 (1969)
- Short description of test conditions: intradermal and percutaneous (occlusive coverage; 1 week after intradermal induction) applikation of the test substance (induction); 3 percutaneous challenges (2, 3 and 4 weeks after the percutaneous induction);
- Parameters analysed / observed: body weight (recorded before each applikation and at the end of the observation period); clinical signs (assessed daily); sensitisation rate
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The LLNA method was not established yet by the time the study was conducted.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: In a preliminary experiment with percutaneous occlusive application of the test substance, a concentration of 10 % aqueous test substance caused minimal skin irritation, whereas a concentration of 5 % aqueous test substance was determined as the highest non-irritant concentration. The intradermal application of a 5 % aqueous test substance preparation resulted in mortality of 18/20 animals. The 2 survivors showed bad general conditions.

MAIN STUDY
