MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: two
- Test groups: 0.1 ml of a freshly prepared adjuvant saline mixture was injected intracutaneously at 4 sites on the animal's neck. The test compound was applied on filter patches ( 2 x 4 cm) to the epidermis over the injection sites for 24 hours under an occlusive dressing. Dose of application: 30%, 0.4 g paste in vaseline. One week later the test compound was applied occlusively in the same way as during the first week on induction for 48 hours. Dose of application: 0.4 g paste in vaseline
- Control group: A control group was treated with adjuvant and the vehicle during the induction period.
- Concentrations: 30%
- Site: neck

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: single exposure
- Day of challenge: 14 days after end of second induction period
- Exposure period: 24 h, epidermal, occlusive
- Test groups: After a rest period of 14 days the compound and the vehicle was applied on filter paper patches ( 2 x 2 cm) to the untreated contralateral flanks of the animals for 24 hours epidermal occlusively.
- Control group: treated with the vehicle as well as with the test compound to control the maximal subirritant concentration of the test compound in adjuvant treated animals.
- Site: contralateral flanks
- Concentrations: 0.3% (ca. 0.2 g per patch)
- Evaluation: 24 and 48 h after removing the dressing
Challenge controls:
A control group of 20 animals (10 m/10 f) was treated with adjuvant and the vehicle during the induction period. During the challenge period, the group was treated with the vehicle as well as with the test item to check the maximum subirritant concentration of the test article in adjuvant treated animals.

Executive summary:

In a modified guinea pig maximization test, 10 male and 10 female animals were first induced and then challenged with the test article to investigate its sensitization potential. A modified procedure from the maximization test, as it is recommended in the OECD guidelines 1981 and in the EEC directive 79/831, was selected on account of its suitability for final formulations or for compounds which are not injectable on account of their insolubility in standard vehicles. Instead of an intradermal injection, the test substance was applied epicutaneously during induction. Induction was a two-stage operation: First, am mixture of adjuvant/saline was injected intracutaneously at four sites on the animals’ neck. The test compound (30% in vaseline) was applied to the epidermis over the injection sites for 24 hours under an occlusive dressing. One week later, the test compound was applied occlusively in the same way as during the first week on induction for 48 hours. After a rest period of 14 days the compound and the vehicle was applied on filter paper patches ( 2 x 2 cm) to the untreated contralateral flanks of the animals for 24 hours epidermal occlusively. Twenty four and 48 hours after removing the dressings the challenge reactions were graded according to the Draize scoring scale. A control group (10 m/10 f) was treated with adjuvant and the vehicle during the induction period. During the challenge period the group was treated with the vehicle as well as with the test compound to control the maximal subirritant concentration of the test compound in adjuvant treated animals. No animal of the test group was sensitized by the test substance, all skin reactions at 24 and 48 hour time points were scored 0. Therefore, under the experimental conditions of this study, the test material is non-sensitizing when topically applied to albino guinea pigs.
