Study design: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Induction
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
maize oil
Concentration / amount:
5%, 50%
Day(s)/duration:
2 days
Adequacy of induction:
highest concentration used causing mild-to-moderate skin irritation and well-tolerated systemically
Challenge
No.:
#1
Route:
epicutaneous, open
Vehicle:
maize oil
Concentration / amount:
10%
Day(s)/duration:
24h and 48h.
Adequacy of challenge:
not specified
No. of animals per dose:
Control animals: 5 animals.
Test Group: 10 animals.
Details on study design:
Hair clipped from an area 4cm x 6cm.
The following day each animal was treated with 6 intradermal injections.
Six days later, the hair was clipped across the scapular region.
The folowing day each animal was treated with one topical application to the scapular region under a Webril patch.
The patched were covered with aluminium foil and then Blenderm occlusive tape.
The patched were removed after 48 hours.

The challenge and rechallenge:
Thirteen days after the application the animals were clipped.
The animals treated with test material to the left and right flanks.
The patched were covered for 24 hours.
The folowing day each animal was treated with 2 concentrations of the test material.
Challenge controls:
0.5 ml volume of the vehicle.
Positive control substance(s):
no

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The most recent positive control was completed in April 1996 with MBT at a concentration of 25% in maize oil.
100% of these animals gave positive reactions.
