Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
There was no evidence that HOSTAGEL HT 300 had caused skin hypersensitivity in the guinea pig, since no responses were observed in the experimental animals in response to a 50% test item concentration in the challenge phase. This result indicates a sensitization rate of 0 per cent.
Executive summary:

In order to assess the potential of the test item to induce skin sensitization a Magnusson & Kligman maximization study in guinea pigs according to OECD 406 guideline was performed.

Test item concentrations selected for the main study were based on the results of a preliminary study. In the main study, ten experimental animals were intradermally injected with a 5% concentration and epidermally exposed to a 50% concentration. Five control animals were similarly treated, but with vehicle alone (corn oil). Approximately 24 hours before the epidermal induction exposure all animals were treated with 10% SDS. Two weeks after the epidermal application all animals were epidermally challenged with a 50% test item concentration and the vehicle. No skin reactions were evident after the challenge exposure in the experimental and control animals.

There was no evidence that HOSTAGEL HT 300 had caused skin hypersensitivity in the guinea pig, since no responses were observed in the experimental animals in response to a 50% test item concentration in the challenge phase. This result indicates a sensitization rate of 0 per cent.
