Details on study design:
Induction:
0.1 ml of a 5 % test substance emulsion in Freund´s Complete Adjuvant (FCA) was injected intradermally into the neck on days 0, 2, 4, 7 and 9 (control group was treated with FCA only).

Challenge:
Epicutaneously with primary non irritant solutions on day 21 (3 and 10 %) and 35 (0.1, 0.3 and 1 %). These tests were performed by applying 0.025 ml of each test concentration to skin areas measuring 2 cm2. The reactions were read after 24, 48 and 72 hours.
