- Source species:
- human
- Cell type:
- non-transformed keratinocytes
- Cell source:

- Justification for test system used:
- The Episkin® Skin Irritation Test is accepted as a reliable and relevant stand-alone replacement test for in vivo skin irritation testing. This test uses a reconstructed human epidermis model which consists of normal human epidermal keratinocytes and therefore represents in vitro the target organ of the species of interest and closely mimics the biochemical and physiological properties of the upper parts of the human, i.e. the epidermis. An ECVAM-validated protocol was followed.

Any other information on results incl. tables
Experiment validation
The results of the MTT assay for negative and positive controls are shown in Table 1. Optical density for negative control (PBS) was above 0.6 and the standard deviation value of the percentage of viability was lower than 18 %. The tissue viability for the positive control (5 % SDS) was below 40 %, with the standard deviation value lower than 18 %. Therefore, the acceptance criteria were met for this experiment.
MTT-interaction
No interaction with MTT: no risk of false negatives.
The coloring potential of test-substances
There was no change to the colour of the tissues and no perturbation the OD measurement.
Tissue viability
For each treated tissue, the tissue viability was expressed as a percentage of the mean negative control. The tissue viability data obtained with the MTT assay for test substances are presented in Table 1. In every case, the relative viabilities of tissues exposed to test substances were above 50 % for neat concentration.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The substance is not irritating in the in vitro skin irritation test under the experimental conditions described in this report.
- Executive summary:
In an in vitro skin irritation study performed in accordance with OECD draft proposal for a new guideline “In vitro Skin Irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RhE) Test Method”, the test substance “Sophorolipids: fermentation products of glucose and fatty acids, C18-unsatd., esters with glycerol with yeast Candida Bombicola, partially hydrolysed” was applied neat to reconstructed human epidermis for an exposure period of 15 minutes. The number of replicate tissues was three. After 15 minutes exposure the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline. Subsequently the tissue constructs were incubated for 42 h at 37 °C. Afterwards, tissues were placed in MTT working solution and incubated at 37 °C, 5 % CO2, for approximately 3 h. MTT was reduced by viable cells into blue formazan crystals which were extracted and transferred for 570-nm optical density reading in duplicate. Relative cell viability for each test compound was calculated as the OD570 ratio to negative control.
The positive (5 % SDS) and negative (PBS) control gave responses that were within the acceptance criteria and as such demonstrated the validity of the study.
The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 minutes treatment with the test substance compared to the negative control tissues was 113.2 %. Since the mean relative tissue viability for the test substance was above 50 %, the test substance “Sophorolipids: fermentation products of glucose and fatty acids, C18-unsatd., esters with glycerol with yeast Candida Bombicola, partially hydrolysed” is identified to be not irritating.
