Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Before challenge phase a primary irritation test was carried out with 4 guinea pigs in order to find a concentration for challenge not inducing substantial irritation. Four guinea pigs were shaved and their left flank was exposed for 24 hours to 25, 10, 2.5 and 1% (w/v) of the test substance in corn oil under occlusive conditions; application was done in plastic Square chambers (v.d. Bend, Brielle, The Netherlands) provided with aluminium foil to avoid contact with the compound. Two animals died from bandage-induced stress, but the remaining animals showed no skin response to any of the tested concentrations.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 4
- Test groups: test substance in corn oil epicutaneously under occlusive conditions on day 0, 2, 4 and 7 (on day 0 treatment of skin with dry ice for 5 seconds prior to application); additionally 2 i.d. injections of 0.1 mL FCA on day 4 on either side of sensitisation area.
- Control group: 2 i.d. injections of 0.1 mL FCA on day 4 on either side of sensitisation area.
- Site: Shaved area of 2x2 cm on the back just behind the right shoulder girdle, injections were done on either side of the sensitisation area. The animals were wrapped in a "window dressing" consisting of Lenkelast elastic bandage (Lohmann, Neuwied, FRG) into which a 2x2 cm opening had previously been cut. This opening was placed over the sensitisation site. After applications the site was covered with a Metalline-patch (Lohmann), which was held in place by covering with water-impermeable tape (Sleek, Smith and Nephew, England).
- Frequency of applications: 2 days
- Duration: 8 days
- Concentrations: Test group: 0.2 mL of 25% (w/v) on day 0 and 2, and 5 % (w/v) on day 4 and 7

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 21
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups: test substance in corn oil under occlusive conditions
- Control group: test substance in corn oil under occlusive conditions
- Site: Application of test substance to the shaved left flank by patches consisting of 1 cm² filter paper (Schleicher & Schull), attached to a piece of aluminium foil with petrolatum, the aluminium foil being mounted on non-irritating Micropore tape (3M Co. St. Paul, USA). The animals were then wrapped in Coban elastic bandage (Smith and Nephew, England). The dressing was fixed in place for 24 hours.
- Concentrations: 50 µL of 25, 5, 1 and 0% (w/v)
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 48 and 72 hours (24 and 48 hours after removal of the bandage and a close shave of the skin)
Challenge controls:
Control group also serves as challenge control, as injection of these animals with FCA alone on day 4 of the induction should not elicit any sensitivities.
Positive control substance(s):
no
