Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: Animals were treated with test substance for the evaluation of the primary irritation treshold concentration. The tested concentrations of 10 and 30 % of the test substance in vaseline did not induce erythema reactions. 10 % was used as a subirritant concentration for the challenge application, to exclude nonspecific reactions in the adjuvant treated animals (s. Magnussen, 1980).

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: The induction was a two-stage operation. First, intradermal injections (into the neck region); second, closed patch exposure over the injection sites one week later.
- Exposure period: Day 1: 2 intradermal injections, one week later epidermal induction application for 48 h
- Test groups: Intradermal: Three pairs of injections (0.1 ml per injection) were made simultaneously into the shaved neck of the guinea pigs as follows:
1) adjuvant and saline (1:1)
2) test compound in sesame oil
3) test compound in the adjuvant saline mixture
Epicutaneous: 0.4 g paste of 30 % substance in vaseline for 48 h (application sites were pretreated the day before with 10 % sodium lauryl sulfate - open application)
- Control group: Intradermal: Same injections as test group, but without test substance;
Epicutaneous: Animals treated analogously to the test group, but without test substance
- Site: neck region
- Frequency of applications: single intradermal injections, one week later single epidermal induction application (see above)
- Duration: Day 1: intradermal injections, one week later epidermal induction
- Concentrations: Intradermal injection: 1 % of the test substance; epidermal application: 30 % test substance in vaseline

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: Two weeks after the epidermal induction
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: on one flank with test substance in vaseline and on the other flank the vehicle alone (patch 2 x 2 cm; occluded administration for 24 hours)
- Control group: Vehicle and test substance on seperate flanks
- Site: flank
- Concentrations: 10 % test substance in vaseline
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h after removing the dressings

OTHER:
Skin findings were assessed according to Draize.
Challenge controls:
- Vehicle group: 20 animals
- Test substance group: 10 animals
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Paraphenylene-diamine or Potassium-dichromate

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The sensitivity of the strain is checked every six months with Paraphenylene-diamine or Potassium-dichromate. (s. Th. Maurer, R. Hess Toxicology 31, (1984) 217-222). The results were not given in the report.
