Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
NC/Nga mice aged 7 weeks were treated with 0.15, 1.5, 15 or 150 mg/kg/day DINP on days -5, 2, 9, and 16 of the study. Five days following the first IP injection of DINP the mice were exposed to the allergen Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus via intradermal injection in the ventral side of the right ear every 2-3 days. The purpose of the experiment was to determine the effects of IP injection of DINP on atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions. The effects of DINP in vitro exposure on bone-marrow derived dendritic cells or splenocytes was evaluated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
DINP did not cause a dose dependent aggravation of AD-like skin lesions related to Do in NC/Nga mice. In vitro exposure to DINP enhanced the Th2 responses through activation of bone marrow cells and splenocytes although, this response occured at very high doses (100uM) or did not follow a clear dose response.
