Control: 5 per control group (challenge control+negativ control)
Test group: 10
Details on study design:
Induction:
Intradermal induction: 6 intradermal injections in groups of two per animal were given.
Injections for the control groups: A) front row 2 injections each of 0.1 mL Freund's adjuvant without test substance emulisified with 0.9%-aqueous NaCl-solution in a ratio of 1 :1
B) middle row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL of the undiluted vehicle
C) back row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL of a 50% formulation of the vehicle without test substance emulsified with Freund's adjuvant / 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution (1 :1)
Injections for the test group:
A) front row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL Freund's adjuvant without test substance emulsified with 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution in a ratio of 1 :1
B) middle row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL of a test substance formulation in an appropriate vehicle at the selected concentration.
C) back row: 2 injections each of 0.1 mL Freund's adjuvant/ 0.9% aqueous NaCl-solution (1 : 1) with test substance at the selected concentration.
Site of application: - shoulder
No. of animals: - 2 per test substance concentration
Reading: - 24 h after the beginning of application

Percutaneous induction:
Peroutaneous induction was carried out one week after intradermal induction.
1 mL of the test substance formulation was applied to each animal. The control animals were not treated since the distilled water used as vehicle was not expected to influence the result of the study.
Duration of exposure: - 48 hours
Site of application: - shoulder, same area as in the case of the previous intradermal application
Readings: -48 h after the beginning of application

Challenge
The challenge was performed 14 days after the percutaneous induction.
Amount applied: 0.5 mL of the test substance formulation was applied to each animal.
- The test group and control group 1 were treated with the test substance formulation (control group 2 remained untreated).
Duration of exposure: - 24 hours
Site of application: - intact flank
Readings: -24 and 48 h after the removal of the patch
Challenge controls:
Control group 1
Positive control substance(s):
no
