Test animals

Species:
mouse
Strain:
other: CBA/CaOlaHsd
Sex:
female
Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
Source: Harlan Laboratories B.V., Postbus 6174, 5960 AD Horst / The Netherlands
Number of animals for the pre-test: 2 females
Number of animals for the main study: 16 females
Number of animals per group: 4 females (nulliparous and non-pregnant)
Number of test groups: 3
Age: Pre-test: 10 - 11 weeks (beginning of treatment) / Main study: 8 - 9 weeks (beginning of treatment)
Identification: The animals were distributed into the test groups at random. All animals belonging to the same experimental group were kept in one cage. In the main experiment, the animals were identified by tail tags. In the pre-experiment, animals were identified by cage number.
Acclimation: At least 5 days prior to the start of dosing under test conditions after health examination. Only animals without any visible signs of illness were used for the study.

Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:
other: ethanol/water (3/7, v/v)
Concentration:
0; 5; 10 and 25
No. of animals per dose:
4 animals per dose
Details on study design:
Each test group of mice was treated by (epidermal) topical application to the dorsal surface of each ear with test item concentrations of 5, 10, and 25% (w/w) in ethanol/water (3/7, v/v). The application volume, 25 µL/ear/day, was spread over the entire dorsal surface (diameter 8 mm) of each ear once daily for three consecutive days. A further group of mice (control animals) was treated with an equivalent volume of the relevant vehicle alone (control animals).
Positive control substance(s):
