Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Male guinea pigs were induced with the test item by a series of 3 intradermal injections. After a 2 week rest period the animals received the epicutaneous challenge exposure, and following 2 further weeks of rest the animals were rechallenged. After additional 2 weeks, the animals received a challenge exposure with the respective polymer of the test item, which was spiked with the monomer (the test ietm itself). Naive control animals were included into the test.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
other: intradermal induction without adjuvant and epicutaneous challenge
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Test was done before LLNA as first-choice method for in-vivo testing was set into force.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: A preliminary primary irritation test was conducted by applying, and lightly rubbing in, a drop (=0.05 mL) each of a 0.25 and 2.5% (v/v) solution of the test item (monomer) in acetone on the shaved intact skin of 10 male albino guinea pigs. Skin reactions were investigated 24 and 48 h after exposure.

MAIN STUDY

- Site: sacrum
- Frequency of applications: one each week over a two week period
- Duration: days 0-14
- Concentrations: 1%

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3 (challenge and rechallenge with monomer (test item), and a second rechallenge with polymer spiked with the monomer)
- Day(s) of challenge: 28 (challenge); 42 (rechallenge); 66 (second rechallenge)
- Exposure period: no data
- Test groups: 1 drop (=0.05 mL) of the test item in acetone
- Control group: naive control animals received 1 drop (=0.05 mL) of the test item in acetone
- Site: shoulder
- Concentrations: 0.01, 0.1, and 1% (challenge); 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, and 1% (rechallenge); 50% polymer spiked with 0.01, 0.1, and 1% monomer (second challenge)
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h
Challenge controls:
Only naive control animals were included into the study.
Positive control substance(s):
not specified
