SENSITIZING EFFECTS

CONTROL GROUP:

No positive reactions were evident.

TEST GROUP:

Only 1 out of 18 test animals showed incidental positive erythema reactions at the 24-hour reading when treated with a 25% test article dilution. No further positive findings were observed, neither when treated with the vehicle alone nor when treated with the test article diluted to 25 % in physiological saline.

SYMPTOMS, LOCAL

TEST GROUP:

Application area around the injection sites 1 and 3 was found to show erythema, and edema from day 2 to 8; necroses from day 10 to18; encrustation from day 15 to19 and exfoliation from day16 to 25 (on day 9 of test, no observation could be performed because the animals were treated semi-occlusively).

Mortality: animal no. 281 (test group) died spontaneously and female no. 289 (test group) was killed in extremis on test day 3.

- animal no. 281; Lung: discoloration, dark red

- animal no. 289; Lung: discoloration, reddisch

Body weights: The body weight gain of the animals was not affected adversely during the study.
