RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Number of animals: 1:
- Protocol: Daily application of 25ul to dorsal surface of each ear for 3 consecutive days.

MAIN STUDY

- Criteria used to consider a positive response: 3 fold increase in dpm

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION: Mice treated with undiluted test material or at concentrations of 25 and 50% in acetone/olive oil (4:1). Daily application of 25ul to the dorsal surface of each ear for 3 consecutive days. Five days following first topical application (Day 6) all mice injected via the tail vein with 250ul of phosphated buffer saline containing 3H-methyl thymidine giving a total dose of 20uCi to each mouse.
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Any other information on results incl. tables

The concentration of ENB expected to cause a 3-fold increase in 3HTdR incorporation (EC3) was calculated to be 41.7% v/v in acetone/olive oil 4:1.

The results suggest that ENB is a weak sensitiser.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
ENB is a sensitizer as at last one concentration resulted in a 3-fold or greater increase in tritiated TdR incorporation compared with controls
Executive summary:

In this approved study conducted under GLP, 5-ethylidene-norborn-2-ene was shown to be a sensitizer at 50% v/v and neat. The results suggest that ENB is a weak sensitiser.
