Any other information on results incl. tables

Skin reactions varying between grades 1 and 2, were observed in eight experimental animals in response to the 50% test substance concentration. No skin reactions were evident in the control animals. Yellow staining was observed at the test substance treated skin sites of both groups at 24 and 48 hours after challenge. This staining did not hamper the scoring of the skin reactions.

The skin reactions observed in response to a 50% test substance concentration in eight (of the ten) experimental animals in the challenge phase were considered indicative of sensitisation, based on the absence of any response in the control animals. These results indicate a sensitisation rate of 80 per cent. As positive control substance, alpha hexylcinnamic aldehyde was used. The positive control resulted in 10/10 positive reactions.
