No. of animals per dose:
control group (5 males and 5 females)
Treated group (10 males and 10 females)
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: In a preliminary study, the following concentrations were tested: 75 %, 50 % and 25 %. In order to respect the criteria for the
selection of concentrations (the concentration should be well-tolerated systematically and locally, intradermal injections should cause moderate
irritant effect but no necrosis or ulceration of the skin), concentration chosen for the main study was 75 % (W/W).

The LLNA test has not been performed because a valid Guinea Pig maximisation test is existing

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The test substance Esterol C does not induce delayed contact hypersensitivity in guinea-pigs.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study (Manciaux, 1999) with Esterol C (batch No. 99.06.501) in corn oil, Hartley guinea-pigs were tested using the method of Guinea pig maximisation test. No clinical signs and no deaths were noted during the study. No cutaneous reactions were observed after the challenge application. Under the experimental conditions of the study, Esterol C does not induce delayed contact hypersensitivity in guinea pig.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
