* indicates that the value differs from that of the lowest dose group (0.5 mg/paw)

- Injected doses were 5 mg/paw (monoterpenes and barbital) or 50 µL /paw (vehicles).

- Values are means ± SD;

- Weight (WI) and Cellularity (CI) indices: values for the draining popliteal lymph node of the treated (right paw) side divided by that of the control (left paw) side.

- IPR, number (%) of rats within the group with WI 2 and CI 5.

- Substances were classified as negative because group mean values for WI and CI were lower than 2 and 5, respectively.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under these test conditions, alpha-terpineol was not considered as a sensitiser.
Executive summary:

In a popliteal lymph node assay (PLNA), a group of 10 female Wistar rats were injected subcutaneously with alpha-Terpineol at 5 mg/paw into the right hind footpad while the contralateral footpad was injected with the vehicle (DMSO) alone. Chlorpromazine (CPZ) and barbital were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. Weight (WI) and cellularity (CI) indices for draining PLNs were determined 7 days after treatment. 

Weight (WI) and cellularity (CI) indices for alpha-Terpineol was determined to be 1.32 ± 0.71 and 2.00 ± 3.32, respectively. Alpha-terpineol was classified as negative because group mean values for WI and CI were lower than 2 and 5, respectively.

Under these test conditions, alpha-terpineol was not considered as a sensitiser.
