- Photoperiod: 14 hours light cycle day.

Study design: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Induction
Route:

Vehicle:

Concentration / amount:
0.1% for intradermal application.
30% for epidermal application.
Challenge
Route:

Vehicle:
other: intradermal: physiological saline; epidermal: vaseline PhH VI.
Concentration / amount:
0.1% for intradermal application.
30% for epidermal application.
No. of animals per dose:
1 male and 10 female guinea pigs.
Details on study design:
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: one injection every second day (except weekends) to a total of 10 intracutaneous injections of a freshly prepared solution.
- Control group: one control group was treated with the vehicle alone ("negative control").
- Site: on the first day, injections of 0.1 ml were administered into the shaven skin of the right flank and the back, while on the following days a single intracutaneous injection was given into the back.
During the second and third week of the induction period the test material was incorporated in a mixture of the normal vehicle with complete Bacto Adjuvant.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
Intradermal
- First challenge injection: fourteen days after the last sensitizing injection.
- Site: administered into the skin of the left flank.
- Observation: 24 hours after each injection during the first week of the induction period and 24 hours after the challenge injection the reactions were recorded.
- Evaluation/scoring system: the two largest perpendicular diameters (in mm) and the increase in the skin- fold thickness (in mm) were measured and by multiplication of these values "reaction volume" was obtained (in µl) for each reading from each animal. The mean volume plus one standard deviation of the induction reactions observed in the individual animal in the first week was taken as representing the skin irritation "threshold" for each animal. Any challenge reaction greater than this threshold value in the induction period was graded as an allergic reaction and the animal termed "positive". The number of "positive" animals in the test group was compared with the number of animals in the control group (treated with the vehicle alone) that showed a non-specific reaction of at least the same magnitude ("negative , control").

Epicutaneous
- Application: 10 days after the intracutaneous challenge injection.
- Dose: subirritant dose of the test compound: 30 % in vaseline.
- Route: test substance was applied epicutaneously under occlusive dressings.
- Duration/exposure: 24 hours.
- Scoring system: the reactions were evaluated 24 h after removing of the bandages according the Draize scoring scale.
