In vivo test system

Test animals

Species:
guinea pig
Strain:
other: Pirbright White, Dunkin Hartley HOE DHPK [SPF-LAC] BO
Sex:
female
Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
- Source: Versuchstierzucht, Hagemann GmbH & Co . KG, D-4923 Extertal 1, FRG
- Rational for choice of animals: Because of the high sensitivity of guinea pigs to a sensitization of the skin which is supposed to be most like that of man. This animal species is the test object acknowledged worldwide for sensitization studies
- Weight at study initiation: 288-340g
- Randomization: According to Salfi, R. : A Long Peri-od Random Number Generator with Application to Permutation. Compstat 1974, pp. 28 - 35.
- Housing: 5/cage
- Diet: 341 .4 mm-Kaninchen- Meerschweinchen-Haltungsdiaet; ad libitum (Supplier : Firma Klingentalmühle AG , CH-4303 Kaiseraugst, Switzerland)
- Water: ad libitum (tap water; about 2 g of ascorbic acid per 10l water was added to the drinking water twice a week
Quality of water and feed used was ascertained via analysis
- Acclimation: no data
- Clipping of the test animals: if required, about 3 to 5 hours before each reading and before each test substance application at the appropriate application sites

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20-24°C
- Humidity (%): 30-70%

Details on study design:
PRETEST TESTS: (performed 4 wks before main study)
Epidermal Application
- No. of animals: 4/concentration
- Site of application: flanks, respectively on the same areas
- Route of exposure: epicuteneous, patches of filter paper (2 x 2 cm) saturated with the test substance
- Type of coverage: occlusive
- Frequency/Duration: 2X for 24h within a period of 96h
- Evaluation (hr after patch removal): 24h and 48h, scoring of findings using Draize score system for scoring skin irritation
- Result: The minimum irritant concentration was found with a 50% test substance preparation in olive oil DAB 9 and the maximum non-irritant concentration with 25% test substance preparation in olive oil DAB 9 (48 h after the beginning of application).


MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
Intradermal Injection:
- Site: shoulder
- Concentration: 5% (0.1 ml/site)
- Vehicle: olive oil DAB 9
- Test group 1: Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) 1:1 with physiological saline(0.9%).
- Test group 2: The test article in olive oil DAB 9.
- Test group 3: Freund's complete adjuvant 1:1 with physiological saline (0.9%) containing the test article
- Control group 1: Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) 1:1 with physiological saline(0.9%).
- Control group 2: Olive oil DAB 9.
- Control group 3: Freund's complete adjuvant 1:1 with physiological saline (0.9%)
- Frequency of applications: 1x
- Evaluation (hr after injection): 24h, scoring of findings using Draize score system for scoring skin irritation

Topical Induction Exposure:
- Time Schedule: about 1 week after intradermal injections
- Site: same as intradermal injection
- Concentration: 50% cyclohexanol in Olive oil DAB 9 (test groups), olive oil DAB 9 (control groups)
- Route of exposure: epicuteneous, patches of filter paper (2 x 4 cm) saturated with the test substance
- Type of coverage: occlusive
- Duration: 48h.
- Evaluation (hr after injection): 48h, scoring of findings using Draize score system for scoring skin irritation

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
1st Challenge: Test groups and control group 1 treated identically in the following manner
- Day(s) of challenge: 2 weeks after topical induction exposure
- Route of exposure: epicutaneous, applied to a 2 x 2cm piece of filter paper
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Site: intact clipped flank, right flank (test substance, 25% in vehicle), left flank (vehicle). Left flank of each control group 2 animal was treated with the vehicle. Right flank was not treated
- Vehicle: olive oil DAB 9
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24h, 48h and 72h, scoring of findings using Draize score system for scoring skin irritation

2nd Challenge- Test groups, control groups 1 and 2 treated identically in the following manner
- Start of challenge: 7days after 1st challenge
- Route of exposure: epicutaneous, applied to a 2 x 2cm piece of filter paper
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Site: intact clipped flank, right flank (vehicle), left flank (test substance; 25% in vehicle)
- Vehicle: olive oil DAB 9
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24h, 48h and 72h, scoring of findings using Draize score system for scoring skin irritation
