- No. of animals per dose:
- 5 mice per test group
5 mice per negative control group (vehicle) - Details on study design:
- VEHICLE:
Due to the solubility properties of the test item the vehicle AOO (3+1 (v/v) Acetone/Olive Oil) was used (Acetone, neoLab, lot no. 1898a4307, expiry date: July 2010; olive oil highly refined, Sigma, lot no. 058K0684, expiry date: January 2010).
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Compound solubility: Before the initiation of the preliminary test, a feasibility test was performed to assess the maximum concentration which is technically applicable to the animals. The pasty test-substance was diluted in order to achieve a solution/ suspension suitable for application. The maximum technically applicable concentration of the test item in the vehicle was found to be 25%.
- Conduction of preliminary test: To determine the highest tolerated and non-irritant test concentration a preliminary test was performed. For this purpose, two animals were treated by topical application with the test item on three consecutive days at the following concentrations (diluted in AOO) to the entire dorsal surface of each ear: animal no. 1 was treated with a test item concentration of 25%, animal no. 2 was treated with a test item concentration of 25%, one further animal was treated with 100% AOO and served as negative control.
From day 1 to day 4 the ear thickness of each animal was measured.
During this period also all clinical signs were recorded.
Cageside observations included spontaneous activity, lethargy, recumbent position, convulsions, tremors, apnoea, asphyxia, vocalisation, diarrhoea, changes in the skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes (salivation, discharge).
No signs of systemic toxicity could be detected in the animal.
- Irritation: No signs of irritation at the application site could be detected in the animal.
MAIN STUDY
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
- Preparation of the Test Item: Based on the results observed in the preliminary test the following test item concentrations were selected for the main study: 6.25%, 12.5% and 25% (diluted with AOO). The preparations were made immediately prior to each dosing.
- Control: Acetone/olive oil (AOO) was used as vehicle and served as negative control.
TEST REGIME:
- Topical Application: Each mouse was treated by topical application of 25 μL of the selected solution to the entire dorsal surface of each ear. Topical applications were performed once daily over three consecutive days.
- Administration of 3H-methyl thymidine: Five days after the first topical application all mice were dosed with 20 μCi 3H-methyl thymidine by intravenous injection (tail vein) of 250μL of 3H-methyl thymidine, diluted to a working concentration of 80μCi/mL.
- Preparation of cell suspension: Approximately 5 hours after 3H-methyl thymidine-injection all mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The draining “auricular lymph nodes” were excised, individually pooled for each animal (2 lymph nodes per animal) and collected in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). A single cell suspension of pooled lymph node cells was prepared by gentle mechanical disaggregation through polyamide gauze (200 mesh size). After washing the gauze with PBS the cell suspension was pelleted in a centrifuge. The supernatant was discarded and the pellets were resuspended with PBS. This washing procedure was repeated. After the final wash each pellet was resuspended in approx. 1 mL 5% TCA at approx. 4 °C for approximately 18 hours for precipitation of macromolecules. Each precipitate was once washed again, resuspended in 1 mL 5% TCA and 7 mL scintillation fluid was added. Then this solution was transferred into scintillation vials and stored at room temperature overnight.
- Determination of incorporated 3H-methyl thymidine: The 3H-methyl thymidine – incorporation was measured in a ß-counter and expressed as the number of disintegrations per minute (DPM). Similarly, background 3H-methyl thymidine levels were also measured (5% TCA). Determination of radioactivity was performed individually for each animal.
EVALUATION OF RESULTS:
The proliferative response of lymph node cells was expressed as the number of radioactive disintegrations per minute per lymph node (DPM/NODE) and as the ratio of 3H-methyl thymidine - incorporation into lymph node cells of test group animals relative to that recorded for control group animals (STIMULATION INDEX). Before DPM/NODE values were determined, background values were subtracted.
EC3 values, calculated concentrations which induce stimulation indices of three, are determined by linear interpolation {EC3=c+[(3-d)/(b-d)]x(a-c)}, between two points of the stimulation indices axis, one above (a,b) and one below (c,d) the stimulation index of three. If all measured points are above or below the stimulation index of three, no EC3 value can be stated.
A substance is regarded as a 'sensitiser' in the LLNA if at least one concentration of the test item results in a 3 fold or greater increase in 3H-methyl thymidine - incorporation into lymph node cells of the lymph nodes of the test group animals, relative to that recorded for the lymph nodes of control group animals (Stimulation Index equal to or greater than 3.0). - Positive control substance(s):
- other: p-Phenylenediamine (CAS 106-50-3, Sigma GmbH, purity >98%; Lot 128K0093; 1% in acetone/olive oil (Aceton, Merck; olive oil highly refined, Sigma) on three consecutive days)
- Statistics:
- Please see "Details on study design" above.
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- In the positive control group given p-Phenylenediamine at the concentration of 1 % a stimulation index exceeding the threshold value of 3 (SI = 13.8) was noted. The study was therefore considered valid.
