Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:
acetone/olive oil (4:1 v/v)
Concentration:
0, 1, 2.5 and 5%
No. of animals per dose:
4/dose
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- dose: 1, 5, 25 and 50%
- Irritation: very slight erythema at 5, 10 and 50%
- Lymph node proliferation response: increase of ear thickness > 25% at 10, 25 and 50%
- Toxicity: none

MAIN STUDY
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Exposure during 3 consecutive days at the dorsal site of the ears with test substance or vehicle. On day 6 3H-methyl thymidine(20 μCi/mouse) was injected in the tail vein. Five hours thereafter mice were killed and draining auricular lymph nodes were pooled per dose group and assessed for 3HTdR after 18 hours incubation at 4°C using a Beckman LS6500 scintillation system. The EC3 value is calculated based on the results at the different tested concentrations.

EXAMINATIONS
Clinical signs: twice daily on day 1-3, daily on day 3-6
Body weights: propor to administration on day 1, and prior to termination at day 6

ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: a threefold or greater increase in 3HTdR incorporation compared to control values (expressed as DPM/min).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance is considered sensitizing to the skin
Executive summary:

Exposure of 4 mice/ treatment during 3 consecutive days at the dorsal site of the ears with test substance (1, 2.5 or 5%) or vehicle. On day 6, 3H-methyl thymidine(20 μCi/mouse) was injected in the tail vein. Five hours thereafter mice were killed and draining auricular lymph nodes were pooled per dose group and assessed for 3HTdR after 18 hours incubation at 4°C using a Beckman LS6500 scintillation system.

At the highest dose tested the stimulation index was 5.15. The calculated EC3 is 3%. The test substance is considered sensitizing to the skin.
