Details on study design:
The GPMT protocol with the same experimental design as in a previous study on Triethanolamine (TEA; Boman et al., 1993) was followed. Groups of 15 animals were induced with either Mono-, Di- or Triethanolamine (MEA, DEA or TEA) and then challenged after three weeks with the inducing amine and the two others. Prior to the topical induction, pretreatment with 10 % Sodium dodecyl sulfate was carried out. The concentrations used for induction and challenge were based on previous experience with TEA and the concentrations of MEA and DEA were equimolar to those of TEA. The challenge reactions were read blindly 48 and 72 hours after application of the patches (Finn chambers). Two separate experiments were carried out with MEA. Control groups of 12 animals were given the same treatment (Freund's complete adjuvant, vehicle, occlusion, etc.) except for the inducing amine.

Any other information on results incl. tables

In a maximization test, 15 Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs were treated with 0.6 % and 10.3 % (pH = 10.1) of 2 -Aminoethanol in water for intradermal and epicutaneous induction, respectively. Before the epicutaneous induction, the animals were treated topically with 10% Sodium dodecyl sulfate. The substance used contained less than 0.1 % of DEA and TEA. The animals were challenged with 4.1 %, 2.05 % and 0.41 % of 2 -Aminoethanol.

After challenge with 4.1 %, 2.05 % or 0.41 % of 2 -Aminoethanol, 3/15, 2/15 and 3/15 animals reacted positively after 72 hours. Two out of 15 animals showed a reaction to the vehicle. Of the 12 control animals, none reacted to 2 -Aminoethanol or the vehicle. Possible cross reactions to 5 % of TEA and 7 % of DEA occurred in 3 and 2 animals, respectively. In a second test, only 1 or 2 animals showed a reaction to 4.1 % and 2.05 % of 2 -Aminoethanol, but none of the animals reacted to 0.41 % of 2 -Aminoethanol or the physiological saline solution used as a vehicle in this study. Moreover, reactions to 10 % of TEA and 7 % of DEA were only observed in 1 and 2 animals, respectively. Of the 12 control animals none reacted to one of the ethanolamines, and 1/12 animals reacted to the vehicle after 24 hours.

The test with 2 -Aminoethanol was performed twice.
