RESULTS

 

- Animal Weights: All animals gained in body weight.

- Clinical Observations: No systemic signs of toxicity were observed in treated or control animals.

- Sensitization: None of the treated (CSO extract) or negative control animals (CSO) exhibited any reaction to the challenge (0% sensitized).

- Historical positive control: animals have exhibited skin reactions of 1, 2 or 3 at each observation point (100% sensitized).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Based on the standards set by the study protocol, the Cottonseed Oil (CSO) extract of the test article, Polymerised Indermil (n-butylcyanoacrylate), elicited no reaction at the challenge (0% sensitization), following an induction phase. Therefore, as defined by the scoring system of Kligman, this is a Grade I reaction and the test article is classified as having weak allergenic potentiaL. A Grade I sensitization rate is not considered significant according to Magnusson and Kligman (1969, 1970).
