Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 5 %

Signs of irritation during induction:
Topical induction - 5,10,25 and 50% gave a score of 1
(scattered mild redness) at the one hour reading and 50%
also gave a score of 1 at the 24 hour reading.


50% topical challenge gave a score of 1 at one hour.

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:
2/20 animals showed evidence of sensitisation
